about me
I’m a product designer with a mission to make our world easier to interact with for people of every background. Originally trained as a graphic designer, I'm passionate about using visual elements to communicate ideas in a universal and delightful way.
I believe design has the power to turn everyday experiences into moments that feel thoughtful and special. Designing with intention and delight are important guiding principles in my work. I find inspiration in looking through different perspectives, finding meaningful connections in culture and our surroundings, and advancements in tech that help reimagine what's possible. However, I do think it's important to always reflect on the impact these transformations can have and think of them holistically to know how they can best adapt to and make current systems better.
My areas of expertise include Visual Design, Product Strategy, UX/UI, User Research, Systems Thinking, and Illustration.
