About

If you’re here for work talk

I’m currently living and working in Brooklyn as a Product Design Director and Accessibility Specialist at Amplify Education, an Emerson Collective EdTech company. For the past 5 years, I’ve been leading a design team on an adaptive and personalized English Language and Math product for elementary aged students and their teachers, for school districts across the US. Additionally, I lead the company wide Accessibility design efforts, maintaining guides, resources, and workshops for teams. I have a fine arts background, with a BFA in Graphic Design and minor in Psychology.

Personal, for a second

No portfolio site is complete without three non-design facts: 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.
