My journey started 1.5 years ago when I worked alongside cross-functional in-house and agency teams across North America and Europe, building mission-driven technology and experiences.


I quickly realized that I have a knack for connecting with people and a talent for designing meaningful tools and experiences that empower individuals and communities.

My upbringing near Philly pushed me to develop a strong work ethic and my goal is to honor my roots by building deep relationships and designing thoughtful experiences.


My curiosity and eagerness to learn have also been integral to my work, pushing me to understand the root causes of both user and business challenges.

When I’m not designing, I jump from hobby to hobby. Sometimes it’s related to design and sometimes not.


I love to cook and make mixed drinks. I’m part Italian which means I’m obligated to make a lot of pastas.


I go to the gym almost everyday and I love amateur bodybuilding.

I listen to psychology podcasts and read classic works.


I am learning to code and recently built an Open AI ChatGPT API in SwiftUI to create an AI-powered cooking assistant.


I’m in a cover band called “Out of Sight” and we just dropped our first rock cover of “believe” by Cher on Spotify!
