Experience (long version)
In 2018 I graduated from Boston University as Magna Cum Laude with a BFA in Graphic Design.
That same year I got my first design job as a digital designer at the pharmaceutical advertising agency, Concentric Health Experience.
In 2019 I moved into fintech as a product designer at the seed-stage startup Hydrogen. I designed white-label applications that highlighted the financial APIs they were known for.
Once 2020 came around the pandemic was in full swing and I moved on to work remotely at Goldman Sachs on their newly formed Transaction Banking team. I was the only in-house designer with startup experience and lead projects on redesigning their design system and complex financial product features for enterprise users.
Realizing I preferred a smaller org style of working I left Goldman in 2021 and joined Teachable as the sole designer on their new incubator team focused on an experimental marketplace that held live events to highlight their top creators.
In 2022 Teachable decided to focus their investments into the company growth and shifted my A-team into the main org as the Growth Team where I have been for the last 3 years.
