I love creating beautiful experiences

I excel in creating visually stunning and intuitive products. I believe that a product should not only look good but also offer an effortless user experience.

I'm a neat freak

I dedicate significant time to organizing files and optimizing design processes. I love refining design systems and ensuring components are perfectly aligned with developers.

Collaboration = 🗝

I thrive in environments where I can talk to people and actively seek out ways to improve cross team collaboration. I believe that the best designs come from diverse perspectives and teamwork.

About Me

About Me

I grew up in San Francisco. Some things I love are anthropology, bar trivia, and lazy rivers.

I figure if you're this far into my portfolio, you already know I love design. So how did I get into it? In my last year at California College of the Arts, I discovered the interaction design program. I grew to see UX/UI design as the perfect intersection of art, design, and people– and I wanted to be a part of it.

Fast forward 6 months of teaching myself the tools of the trade, and I started down the path of being a product designer. It's been 5 years since then, and I'm still loving every second.
