The Person
Summary
I'm a design lead with over 7 years of experience based in Boston, MA. At IBM iX, part of IBM Consulting, my client experience spans multiple industries and roles. I work across the design spectrum, from user research all the way through to handoff and QA.
I'm passionate about design systems, and have had opportunities to work on building, maintaining, and contributing to both IBM and our clients' systems.
Outside of work, you can most likely catch me working on my roundhouse kick.

Outside of Work
I brew mead at home with my friend Felipe! We do a lot of experimenting with different levels of sweetness and flavors.
I love plants, and have over 30 at home! The air quality is great.
One of the yearly activities my friends and I do is the Fenway Spartan race. Quick disclaimer that I don't actually like running.
One of the best lattes in Boston can actually be found at my apartment.
I can tell Japanese people I don't understand Japanese three different ways, in Japanese.
I'm a first degree black belt, actively training towards my second.
I also compete in taekwondo sparring.
