About

I’m a marketer-turned-UX writer with a penchant for problem solving. I've spent the past 15 years creating content of all types — from blog posts to videos, microcopy to product education. I'm currently obsessed with information architecture and design systems.

When I'm not working, I'm making things. I'm an animator and aspiring letterpress printmaker. My Jersey City apartment is overflowing with markers, paper, and ideas.

Hand drawn & stop motion animation

I’ve been dabbling in animation since the early 2000s. But I dove headfirst into doing more animation (and improving my skills) with a 100 Day Project that started in the fall of 2018. Here’s what came out of that project.
