About

If you’re here for work talk

I'm currently a Senior Director of Product Design at Amplify Education (an Emerson Collective EdTech company). I have the privilege of leading a UX design team, focusing on research & development and in-market maintenance for Amplify's Literacy Suite of products. This suite is a comprehensive set of digital tools, platforms, and interactive English and Spanish curricula designed specifically to advance literacy skills in K–12 classrooms, across all 50 states. I have a fine arts background, with a BFA in Graphic Design and minor in Psychology.

Personal, for a second

I divide my time between Brooklyn, NY and Nashville, TN. I love figure drawing, RPGs, and my last name is pronounced like 'excursion' but with an 'o'. I also have a very dumb, unprofessional Instagram of my drawings.
