✿ Hi there, I’m Alyssa.
I’m your favorite product designer’s favorite product designer (Just kidding! Love Sasha Colby and Chappell Roan! 😋)!
I began my career as a kid with a 64-pack of Crayola crayons and a dream to become a fashion designer hosting New York Fashion Week in my poofy, glittery pink dresses. My passion for psychology, research, storytelling, and design led me to where I am today— a position where I'm an ally to users from marginalized communities and creating trauma-informed products that empower users. I studied Psychology and English General Literature & Rhetoric at Binghamton University and I’m looking forward to taking on the challenge of creating delightful, inclusive experiences for users from all around the world!
