Hi, I’m a Product Design Leader currently at Spotify in New York City. At Spotify, I oversee a product design team responsible for ensuring all creators can grow and connect with their audiences on Spotify.
Before joining Spotify, I led brand and product-marketing experiences at Hearst. Before Hearst, I was on the creative team at Publicis Groupe working on large consumer brands like Proctor & Gamble. Taking it back further - I loved being part of Viacom-CBS family where I got to work on VH1 & MTV shortly after my time at IMG ended. Ultimately, I thrive on building seamless, end-to-end product experiences that merge strategy, design, and innovation.
Outside of work, I recently served on the board of District 38, advocating for the Brooklyn communities of Sunset Park and beyond. Our board advised on policies and decisions for our district constituents. I was the vice chair of the community outreach & access committee and also served on the economic development committee within my appointment. Want to learn more? Read this.
Lastly, I am a design mentor at Parsons School for Design & Yale School of Management where I attended college and post-grad education. More recently you can also find me on adplist. I love giving career advice to people early in their careers so please do not hesitate to reach out.
