Hello! I'm a designer, web developer, and product manager based in New York. Currently, I'm the founder of Token Interactive—a startup game studio—and I teach game, website, and app design at Parsons School of Design. Previously, I was the Lead Product Designer at Stayawhile, in charge of their UI/UX and front-end development. Before that I've worked on design at places like ArtBinder and Alice, and have independently launced two apps, Arithmatic and Creepypasta Stickers. I believe design is visual engineering. When I work I always think about the content before the form. I am skilled in UI/UX design, graphic design, illustration and front-end development.
Hit me up if you ever need a designer.
