About me

Hey! I'm Effie, a senior product designer based out of New York (previously California and Colorado).

I work on the Adobe Creative Agent team, shaping the company's agentic AI strategy. Before that, I was at Facet.ai, building generative AI tools for creatives.

Designers are makers, thinkers, and learners. I think best with my hands: at the pottery wheel, in a makerspace, on a climbing wall.

I received my MDes from UC Berkeley with a focus on creative technology. My undergrad was at MIT, where I received a BSc in Art + Design and a minor in sustainability.
