Heart of a designer, mind of an engineer, spirit of a visionary

Design is more than aesthetics, it's about empathy, clarity, and connection. I’m Teresa, a UX leader and designer who thrives on transforming complexity into intuitive, empowering experiences.

With a passion for innovation and collaboration, I bring people together to craft purposeful digital experiences, products, and services that make a meaningful impact. I'm driven by solving real problems and designing elegant solutions that simplify life and help individuals achieve their goals.

My professional experience spans a range of industries, including financial services, technology, construction and engineering, consumer and enterprise products, and education. I hold a Master of Science in Engineering from the University of Pennsylvania, where I specialized in product and service development, as well as a Bachelor of Arts in Studio Art and Art History from Hunter College. I'm also certified in UI/UX Design for AI Products (Stanford), UX Management Certification (NN/g), and Human-Centered Design Facilitation (LUMA Institute).

Outside of work, I recharge by exploring new ideas, immersing myself in nature, traveling to unfamiliar places, and cherishing time with family and friends. These experiences fuel my creativity and keep me grounded in what matters most—connection, curiosity, and continuous growth.
