I'm a product design manager and entrepreneur with over six years of experience in design. I hold a Master’s Degree in entrepreneurship from Columbia University and I’m passionate about building effective teams, and leveraging design to create high growth products.

I currently manage a team of four designers at Dropbox. Previously, I cofounded Memo, which was acquired by Coinbase. Before that, I spent a few years as a freelancer designer, working with early stage startups.

I'm originally from Romania, I studied in Paris and New York, worked in London, and now live and work in San Francisco. I geek out on design, tech, art, and I absolutely love books. And chocolate.

LET'S BE FRIENDS

If you want to chat about design, books, chocolate, or anything else, just send me a direct message on Twitter. I'm also available for side collaborations and talks worldwide.
