Product Design, Neapolitan Pizzas, and the World of Soccer

I'm a product designer and entrepreneur passionate about blending creativity with business-driven results. As the founder of SoloSlice, a Neapolitan pizza catering business, and MaskPillowcase, an innovative pillowcase and sleep mask hybrid, I thrive on solving real-world problems with user-centric designs.

Previously, I redesigned Neatleaf’s AI Cannabis App to enhance user experience, and I led design at PeopleSpark, an app featured in Fast Company for transforming HR. I also founded Daa! Dumplings, a New York Times-featured dumpling business, which transitioned to successful e-commerce and wholesale post-pandemic.

My entrepreneurial experience has generated over $1.2 million in sales over the years, driven product adoption, and optimized efficiency across teams. I love creating products that solve problems, drive results, and improve people’s lives.

When I’m not designing, I’m making Neapolitan pizzas, playing soccer, or exploring new ways to innovate with 3D printing.
