My career started in museums, where I redefined how institutions tell their stories. At the American Museum of Natural History, Liberty Science Center, and the Bronx Zoo, I built digital and interactive experiences that changed the way visitors connect with science, culture, and conservation. My work earned recognition from the Muse Award, Apple Design Award, Webby, and Thea Award.
I later served as Chief Design Officer at AI startups, leading product, hardware, content, marketing, and brand strategy. I launched four award-winning products recognized by Red Dot, Core77, and the Good Design Award from the Chicago Athenaeum.
Today, I’m the Founder and CEO of Ayapi, the first voice AI companion built for cultural exploration. Unlike static guides, Ayapi lets visitors speak naturally—in any language—to uncover stories and insights that traditional labels can’t deliver. For institutions, it opens a new window into visitor behavior and engagement, driving learning and connection at scale.
Our mission is simple: ignite curiosity, expand access to knowledge, and preserve cultural and intellectual heritage for generations to come.
