Hello, I’m Monica
ever-curious, Always learning.
I enjoy helping people succeed — both business owners and their customers. With over 15 years of experience, I make practical decisions that create effective and impactful outcomes. Experience at big agencies and with small business founders has enabled me to adapt quickly and exposed me to a variety of projects.
My love of design stems from childhood—my mother fostered my artistic side and my father encouraged problem-solving through puzzles and games. I like to create new ground and once co-founded two businesses creating lifestyle products in NYC. I’m currently exploring my own app idea. I enjoy discovering new places, biking, hiking, making things by hand, and taking photographs. Oh, and tacos. I love tacos.
I enjoy new challenges and would love to partner with an emerging company whose mission is to make meaningful impact on people's lives. I am passionate about sustainability, nature, travel, mental health, community, and food. I’m interested in designing apps, tools, and SaaS.
