My Story

My Story

I am a UX/UI Designer based in New York City with a background as a Lead Graphic Designer and Packaging. I led graphic design for international brands like Reebok and DKNY and collaborated with big box retailers such as Walmart and Costco. In working across outerwear, children's sportswear, and swimwear, I have the range and adaptability to work across multiple categories and understand how to cater to various target audiences.

Recently, I worked with a fintech startup company, Chedar, where I used my learnings and skills to develop design solutions and strategies to help improve the platform's user experience.

When I am not working, I enjoy spending time with my wife and son in my leisure time. To keep my creative juices flowing, I enjoy drawing and illustrating. I also have been known to be a gym rat, lifting weights and boxing.
