👋 I’m Garvey, a product designer working to make the world easier to live in, one seamless interaction a time. 


For me, design is all about problem solving and because our problems evolve every day, there's never an uninteresting moment. I try to learn from every experience — success or failure — believing that my superpower is resilience.



I’m a  graduate of Carnegie Mellon School of Design, where I earned BFA in Communication Design. Since then, I've spent time honing my skills at VSA Partners, IBM, Motorola, ASAPP and most recently, Cash App.
