stay curious

Designer. Marketer. Entrepreneur.

I live, work and play in New York City. Wholly self-made multidisciplinary designer, web developer and entrepreneur. With the help of a few esteemed financial backers, opened the first ever coworking space in my native borough of Queens in NYC, QNS Collective.

Prior to launching QNS, I worked independently with several prominent design firms and Fortune 500 companies as an Art Director creating brand awareness in print, digital and retail.

I am passionate about art and emerging technologies. A geek for podcasts and talk radio. I believe in staying curious. Enjoying motherhood, discovering new places.
