About
I’m interested in creating products that enhance peoples lives. I’m not interested in creating products that distract from them. I strongly believe that good product design should require little effort and even less time to be used effectively.
Work experience

Ralph Appelbaum
Exhibit Designer
I worked on a small team of incredible designers helping shape from the ground up a new Smithsonian museum in Washington, DC—The National Museum of African American History & Culture. I learned more at this job than any history class I’ve ever taken.

Frog Design
Designer
I moved to NYC just after graduating college and landed the opportunity to work for, at the time, one of the most respected design firms. I learned so much here and more importantly, I met some incredible people that would go on to lead me where I am today.
