Hello there! I’m teE, a product designer, and a storyteller, weaving creativity into every design.

I'm a proud New Yorker from the Lower East Side with a BFA in Graphic Design from the School of Visual Arts. For over 15 years, I've been deeply involved in the Deaf and disabled community as a job developer and coach. I utilized both American Sign Language and my artistic skills as powerful communication tools, aiding my clients in reaching their employment goals.

In a significant career pivot, I ventured into numerous art courses to enhance my skill set, gearing up for a fresh career path. Recently, I earned the Google UX certificate from Coursera. I'm all about flexibility and adaptability, thriving on problem-solving from the tiniest design details to the grander concepts, ensuring a well-rounded outcome.

Beyond the design world, you'll find me enjoying billiards, throwing darts, and indulging in a good scare with some thrilling horror movies. Let's connect and share stories!
