Product & Design Strategy

As a product and design leader for nearly 20 years working at design agencies (Razorfish), in-house (The New York Times), startups (AI.Reverie) and studying at New York University’s graduate program (ITP), I continually explore ways to create magic with the teams I build and the products I ship.

Currently, I work at Meta with synthetic data teams to build novel experiences for the Metaverse. Previously, I led product and design at AI.Reverie, a simulation platform that generates synthetic data to train AI to understand the world; and cultivated digital innovation teams as a design director at The New York Times.

I have taught and led UX design workshops at a variety of institutions, including School of Visual Arts, Pratt Institute, New York University and Columbia School of Journalism.

Celebrate Food

Our Kitchen Tales

I believe that food ties us to our families, our cultures, our heritage. My husband Alex, my friend Donny, and I created a passion project we call Our Kitchen Tales.  

Together, we capture the stories of recipes shared from one generation to another generation: parents and children, grandparents and grandchildren.  These recipes reveal the richness and beauty of different cultures and relationships that define all of us growing up and moving forward.  These recipes tales are personal, cultural, and most importantly, meaningful to our cooks.   

Our Kitchen Tales start with their kitchen tale.  

Celebrate Life

Eat UR Face

Birthdays are special days.  To make the day even more special for friends, I create a unique face cake to help us all celebrate.

Celebrate Death

Coming soon…

Recently, I became a certified end-of-life doula through the University of Vermont. Currently I am exploring the intersections of art, technology, design and death.
