Graphic-designer-turned-industrial-designer-turned-service-designer-committed to using design to serve our community (and currently working in healthcare).


I use design to solve complex problems with empathy. As the Senior Designer at the Mass General Brigham Springboard Studio, I lead the design of healthcare solutions, conduct user research with diverse stakeholders, and make design more accessible in the healthcare setting. Prior to this work, I worked as an editorial graphic designer for books and magazines.

I received my Master’s in Industrial Design (MID) from Rhode Island School of Design and my Bachelor’s in International Relations and Visual Arts from Brown University.
