Designing with people in mind. Based in NYC.

Let's Work Together

Hi! I'm Zoë

professional design nerd

Based in NYC, I'm a designer with a love for learning and problem-solving. My academic and career experience awarded me skills in digital humanities, project management, web development, marketing, social media design, graphic design, video editing, user experience research, and UI/UX design.

My previous career experience involved supporting projects ranging from small-scale initiatives to large institutions. My goal in any project is to create experiences that optimize not just for the end user, but for every role within an organization. This work has connected me with non-profit, public, and government institutions.

Outside of design, I freelance as a photographer (checkout my photos). To turn off my brain from the rest of the world, I play with my Switch, DIY my nails, or watch horror movies.

Through my work, I want to help create useful, engaging, and intuitive solutions that help people improve their lives.
