Nice to meet you!
I’m Christina, a product designer based in New York. My design career began as a Mathematics and English major from University at Buffalo who enjoyed problem solving through analytics and writing. I eventually shifted those skills over to study Interaction Design at Carnegie Mellon University. I graduated with a Master's and now my main focus is working on SaaS products and creating pleasant user experiences.
For me, design is about storytelling, collaboration and growth. I look forward to creating interactions that are desirable and easy to use without displaying all the complexity. I’m always happy to chat and share more via email.

Clay all day
I jumped on the ceramics train a few years ago and it quickly became one of my favorite hobbies. I love mixing different kind of glazes and exploring organic forms! Most recently, my favorite type of item to build are vases.
Ice-coast, nice coast
I first learned how to snowboard on the Ice Coast back in 7th grade but only recently I have discovered the joys of POW days on the west coast. Now during the winters, I try to get out there at least once.
Recommendations please
I'm always looking for recommendations for books and podcasts! One of the challenges I gave myself this year was to read a book every month. Here are some recent recs that have been on my radar: Before the Coffee Gets Cold by Toshikazu Kawaguchi and How I Built This with Guy Raz.
