As an experiential designer, I strategize and design environmental graphics for spaces that brings people closer together. With an MA in Exhibition and Experience Design from the Fashion Institute of Technology, I have over four years of professional experience in leading teams to design and fabricate exciting exhibits and experience-based projects for museums, trade shows, and retail spaces.
I am passionate about storytelling and creating hybrid experiences at the intersection of art, design, and technology. I use my design and project management skills to execute creative ideas from sketches to concrete products and services, while conducting user research to ensure the best outcomes for the clients and the users. I keep myself amused with emerging technologies and trying new apps and software, and I marvel at the numerous possibilities that lie in the design field due to collaboration between disciplines.
