UX/UI Designer | Social Impact Strategist
With a Bachelor of Arts in Development Studies from Brown University and an MBA from the Quantic School of Business and Technology, I have cultivated a diverse skill set in strategy, design, and facilitation. My recent certification in UX/UI Design from Springboard complements my experience as a Virtual Dialogue Facilitator at Soliya, where I enhance communication and reflection skills among students. As a Product Designer at finEQUITY, I focused on platform redesigns to improve user financial health. My role as a Social Impact Strategy & Design Fellow at Friday involved leading MVP design projects and launching an online community for girls in STEM. I have also served as a Conflict Resolution Consultant with Bridging Cultures Group Inc., and as an MVP Designer at Spring Impact, supporting organizations in scaling their impact. My work is driven by a commitment to fostering inclusive and effective communication and design solutions.
