An artist, a designer, a creative!

NOW

EARLIER AGO

WAY BEFORE THAT

Recently graduated with a B.S. in Cognitive Science (specifically, in Human-Computer Interaction) from UC Santa Cruz, and currently designing to advocate for better healthcare systems.

There's no singular perfect approach to a solution, but I believe that's why there's so many different ways to design a beautiful, thoughtful experience that can adapt and grow with the user in mind.

Worked with both start-ups and public companies. I crafted 0→1 designs for a pre-seed AI fashion startup called FAIshion for their Mix & Match system and B2B pitch-deck. Before that, I led product and graphic design for Risk Services, and collaborated with 3 different departments to redesign their websites.

I found the joys of drawing on a Huion tablet at the age of 12.

I LOVE TO READ! HERE'S MY ALL-TIME FAVORITE BOOKS:
