Heart of a designer, mind of an engineer, spirit of a visionary
Hi, I’m Teresa—an experienced UX leader and designer with a passion for design, innovation, and collaboration. I thrive on bringing people together to create thoughtful, purposeful, and impactful products, services, and digital experiences. My driving force is solving problems and crafting elegant solutions that simplify life and empower individuals to achieve their goals.
I bring over 12 years of expertise in user experience design, strategy, product design, and service development. While I specialize in user experience (UX) and user interface (UI) design, my versatility enables me to contribute across the entire design spectrum—from user research to visual design. My adaptability and resourcefulness are grounded in a diverse set of skills and methodologies spanning research, human-centered design, and strategy.
My professional experience spans diverse 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. Additionally, I have earned a UX Management Certification from NN/g and a Human-Centered Design Facilitator Certification from the LUMA Institute.
In my free time, I love exploring new ideas, immersing myself in nature, traveling to new places, and cherishing moments with family and friends.
