About Me
I grew up in New York and have been transforming ideas into businesses and products from a young age. My first useful invention was a pocket-sized diabetes testing device that, as a type 1 diabetic, I patented and used everyday for 3 years.

After studying industrial design for two years in North Carolina, I moved to San Francisco to start my first ‘real’ company. This was my introduction to product management in the technology world. 

Through the first phase of the company I led and built Virtual Reality headsets and virtual experiences. Then, I led the design and continuous product development of a custom homebuilding platform.

My journey so far has allowed me to develop the execution skills of design and engineering at the same time as the soft skills required in product management.
