I’ve spent over 15 years building digital products spanning from financial technology to e-commerce, enterprise B2B and consumer applications, with venture-backed startups and fortune 100 companies. Over that time I’ve developed a love for early- and growth-stage startups, the functional formation of the Design org, and making sense of complex systems.

I’ve spent over 15 years building digital products spanning from financial technology to e-commerce, enterprise B2B and consumer applications, with venture-backed startups and fortune 100 companies. Over that time I’ve developed a love for early- and growth-stage startups, the functional formation of the Design org, and making sense of complex systems.
I’m a thrill-seeker by nature, and I look for brilliant, trustworthy teams to work alongside and take-on massive challenges together. I’m an advocate for analytically rigorous product and design thinking with growth, scalability and ROI in-mind. I’m also a lover of Finance & Economics, having done my undergraduate studies in both fields at Columbia University.
I currently lead Product Design at Wonder, a $3.5B FoodTech startup founded by Marc Lore, where I was also the first design hire. I’ve been fortunate to see our team grow to nearly 1,900 employees in under 3 years. Here, I lead the Design function for 5 teams under various working models and team makeup.
