Arts Thread

I’m a product designer & researcher based in New York City. I'm experienced in end-to-end design execution, product strategy, design research, cross-functional collaboration across early-stage startups, enterprise healthcare, and consumer education products.My design keywords are “simple, powerful, timeless, positive.” I believe that design is essential. Design is not just creating new- it’s imagining a tangible future based on human experiences from the past. Design and technology should be accessible – instead of segregation, they should draw people closer and lead to co-creation. One day, design will be equally earth-centric as human-centric.Growing up with a global background, I get excited about changes, constant learning, listening, observing, and communication. My passion for making changes through the shared design language in both digital and physical space has led me to pursue an MFA in multi-disciplinary design at the School of Visual Arts.Outside of design, I’m a surfer, freediver, darkroom photographer, and filmmaker. You can often find me surfing at Rockaway, NY all year or exploring various local cultures through my surf trips in Hawaii, Sri Lanka, Puerto Rico, Mexico and more (to come).
