I am a designer, researcher, and illustrator deeply passionate about using community-based design, media, and art to create a positive social impact, especially as it relates to children’s development.

Currently, I'm a UX/UI Design Fellow in the 2023 cohort at Blue Ridge Labs, Robin Hood, New York’s poverty-fighting Innovation Lab.

Recently, I was a research design consultant at Co:Census, where I was empowering community voices with qualitative data and human-centered research approaches.

In the past six years as a practicing artist, I have led free arts programming at homeless shelters and social service centers, led visual arts workshops for and with the disabled community, and created a documentary project filming street musicians and emerging artists in New York City and Barcelona.

I have studied and worked abroad in India, Chile, and South Africa. I have a wide range of experiences within the design and media field, including having interned for The Participatory Budgeting Project, creating resources to help teachers implement participatory budgeting in their schools. I have also interned for Slum Dwellers International and supported their media content with Know Your City TV, a youth media collective formed of residents living in informal settlements. I am a proud visual arts teaching artist at Arts Ignite and have led various visual art workshops at social civic centers across New York City.
