Hello, I am Lena.
I'm a product designer and design system specialist based in New York. I'm currently pursuing a Master of Science in Information Systems with a concentration in Connective Media at Cornell Tech.
Most recently, I designed an accessible design system for a social app helping older adults stay connected. Before that, I worked on a centralized sponsorship platform for creators and brands, and led UX design at a personalized academic planning platform. I also co-founded a college admissions mentorship platform that scaled to over 15,000 users, where I focused on improving feedback workflows and user engagement.
My design journey has spanned social impact, education, health, and creator tools, always centered around making digital experiences more thoughtful, inclusive, and scalable.

When Not In Figma...
I go off-roading
Getting out on the trails in an ATV is my way of recharging, keeping me adventurous and grounded.
I explore art spaces
Spending quiet afternoons in galleries helps me reset and find inspiration for my own creative practice.
I play golf
Golf is where I challenge myself with patience and precision while enjoying time outdoors.
