👋🏼 Nice to meet you!
I’m Christina, a product designer in New York.
My design career began as a Math and English major from University at Buffalo where I loved problem solving through analytics and writing. This eventually led me to pursue Interaction Design at Carnegie Mellon University. Since then, I've been working closely with SaaS startups across different stages of growth.
I specialize in taking products from 0→1, especially in spaces where data and AI can feel overwhelming and turning them into tools that are intuitive, approachable, and human.
For me, design is about storytelling, collaboration, and growth. It starts with scoping the problem and its users, defining the constraints, and exploring solutions through visual prototypes and conversations.

During my off hours 🤸🏻♀️
Hiking for views
My other passion is taking silly photos of a Labubu keychain on hikes. I've convinced my friends to do it and now we have a built up a collection of photos of our Labubus traveling.
Clay all day
I jumped on the ceramics train in 2023 and it quickly became one of my favorite hobbies. I've been exploring more organic shapes through hand building and my favorite items to make are vases so far.
Ice-coast, nice coast
I've been snowboarding for a while but have just discovered the joys of POW days on the west coast. Now during the winters, I try to get out there at least once.
