Bio

I’m a Boston based Product Designer working at Automattic. I’m currently focusing on customization, new user experience, and design hiring.

I’m also a guest committer for WordPress, where I contribute design for core and community projects. I co-organize the Boston WordPress meetups and WordCamp Boston.

I love big typography, cold brew coffee, and craft beer.

Interests

Design, beer, videogames.
