I am a UI designer based in New York City. I am currently pursuing a degree in design and technology at Parsons the New School of Design. With a focus on mobile interface design and user experience, I am very hands-on in my design process; often designing through the manufacturing process. I continue to challenge myself by taking on projects as an opportunity to explore idea and means. Rather than hiding imperfections in a piece, I bring them to the forefront of the concept to highlight the manufacturing process.
