My Story
Growing up, I was the go-to "tech" person in my family. Whether it was filling out online forms or troubleshooting a clunky app, my parents and grandparents always turned to me. I quickly learned just how frustrating poorly designed websites could be. I didn’t have the words for it back then, but those moments planted the seed for my passion for user-centered design.
In high school, I joined the journalism staff and found my footing in visual storytelling. Designing layouts, editing photos, and experimenting with typography sparked my interest in how form supports function. That foundation eventually led me to UC San Diego, where I earned my B.S. in Cognitive Science with a specialization in Design and Interaction.
Today, I combine that early instinct to help others with a strong design practice grounded in research, accessibility, and thoughtful visuals. My goal is to transform stories of bad design into better products that put users first and feel as intuitive as they are beautiful.
When I’m not designing, you can find me drawing, reading, vibing to music, or test-driving new recipes (aspiring home chef, always).
