About

About

Hi! I'm an award-winning, high-agency product designer that has a knack for visual design and enjoys thinking about product strategy. I have 4 years of experience in consumer social and B2B SaaS/enterprise tools. I grew up in Cleveland and studied Cognitive Science at Johns Hopkins University, but my second home is in Nanjing, China. In my free time, I love drinking tea, reading Elena Ferrante, and running.
