I’m Dana – an NYC-based Staff Product Designer at Adobe. I design generative AI features for Photoshop and help shape the product’s direction. I also teach a graduate course at Parsons School of Design.
I led the product experience behind the launch of Photoshop’s first generative AI features (Generative Fill and Generative Expand), which landed a spot in TIME’s Best Inventions of 2023. My work has earned multiple patents, and lately I’ve been leading design on Relight, Distraction removal, and the design system for generative credits.
I began my career as a motion designer with MTV’s Brand Creative Group, animating for broadcast and events like the Movie Awards and VMAs. I then joined Meta’s Creative Shop as a Design Lead, designing new product and platform experiences across Facebook and Instagram.
I enjoy mentoring designers through ADPList, where I've been recognized as a Top 1% Mentor. I regularly speak at AI and design events, guest lecture at schools like Pratt and NYU, and have judged AI competitions including the ADC Awards and various hackathons.
Outside of work, I eat too many sour Starbursts and double as a digital illustrator (@dj.draw) known for athlete and artist portraits, with commissions from the NY Jets and Seattle Seahawks.
