Passionate about understanding people and interested in studying psychology, I didn’t realize how this could synergize with artistic creativity until I encountered Product Design in university. I loved talking to people to learn about them, and creating tangible and emotional experiences that stemmed from the findings of those discussions.

After graduating from university, I worked as a User Experience Designer for a fintech startup, and learned through collaboration with financial engineers, software engineers, product managers, and senior leadership about how the different sectors of a software company come together to deliver successful product launches and experiences. Also recognizing how tied together a software’s services (backend) and user interface (frontend) are, I started to learn full-stack programming on the side, and quickly became a point of contact not only for designing the product experience, but also how to implement it with precision in code.

Currently, I work as a freelance Product Design consultant and founding Product Designer across different early-stage software ventures, and I look to continuously utilize and grow my understanding of UX design, full-stack development, and project management to deliver products that elicit delight while truly addressing peoples’ needs.

I am a tinkerer at heart, and find the acquisition of growth of new skills extremely fulfilling. In my free time, you can find me toying with web/mobile development, watching/playing soccer, or attempting to make latte art!
