Over the course of 14 years, I have led human-centered strategies and integrated creative across digital and physical environments. For ten years, I specialized as an experiential retail architect and commercial interior designer in New York City, collaborating with clients that included L'Oréal, Old Navy, and Nike. I continue to educate myself on ways to merge technology and the retail space.
