As an endlessly curious product designer with an MS in HCI, professional experience as a graphic designer, and a background in industrial design, I possess a deep toolkit with which to advocate for the user.
I work in user experience because I appreciate it for its core belief—there are no stupid people or uneducated users, just experiences that do not meet users' needs. UX gives us the opportunity to equalize the playing field, provide opportunity, and make our world better.
Outside of UX, I have a passion for photography, fun plants, fountain pens, and fancy-funky-mechanical keyboards (amongst other eclectic hobbies).
I'd love to have a chat about my work, my hobbies, YOUR hobbies, or any intriguing topics you've recently happened upon.

Download my resumeAfter hours, you can catch me playing every New York Times game like it's my own personal Super Bowl (Connections and Tiles are serious for me) or crafting hyper-specific mood playlists on Spotify. You might also catch me building keyboards, petting my dog, hiking national parks, or poring over my portfolio in Webflow.
If you ever need to summon me quickly, just say, "Tori, I brought you paneer tikka masala" thrice and I'll definitely appear.
