I’m a UX/UI designer and researcher who blends creativity with strategic thinking to connect user needs with business goals. I help teams turn insights into intuitive, scalable product experiences and guide research that shapes decisions from discovery through delivery.

​

I studied Game and Entertainment Design at Otis College of Art and Design and began my career in concept design, working on early ideation and visual mockups for brands like Raising Cane’s, Blizzard, and Bounty Hunter. These fast-paced, client-driven environments taught me how to think visually, iterate quickly, and communicate ideas clearly across disciplines!

​

Over time, I realized I wanted to go deeper than surface-level visuals and better understand the reasons behind design decisions! That curiosity led me to pivot into UX. My experience as an Adobe Digital Academy Fellow and Intern was transformative! It connected my creative instincts with product strategy, user research, and cross-functional collaboration. Since then, I have focused on research-backed design work that brings clarity to complexity and helps systems feel effortless to use.

​

Today, I am especially interested in the invisible threads that connect people to products, including how workflows, constraints, and decision-making systems shape real-world experiences.

Outside of Figma, I love connecting with other creatives through craft events, art shows, and collaborations. I still enjoy drawing analog, catching comedy shows, and traveling up and down Northern California. Along the way, I enjoy exploring small towns and supporting local businesses, often noticing how thoughtful details can turn simple experiences into meaningful ones!
