Resume
↗
I am a designer based in NYC, an avid cook, and a recent cycling amateur.
I am currently at Instagram, leading sharing and friend connection experiences, product strategy, and AI bets across core product surfaces.
Turning ambiguous challenges into simple solutions, while going 0→1, is what I most enjoy. Taking ideas and turning them into something we can hold, inspect, have discourse, and interrogate — with speed, high craft, and tight-knit collaboration.
I studied Computer Science and Human-Computer Interaction, with a concentration in Psychology at Columbia University. Outside of work, I'm usually on a run around the central park loop or in the kitchen cooking and thinking about my next dinner party menu.
