About Me
I craft experiences through design and storytelling.
Background / Start
Born and raised in California, I grew up adventurous and outdoorsy, but I was always a nerd at heart. My love for video games sparked an early fascination with design, and discovering Photoshop as a kid opened up a whole new world. I quickly realized how much I loved creating art for others, which set me on my design journey.

Design Experience
With nearly 10 years of design experience—4-5 of those in UX—I’ve had the privilege of working with clients across industries like finance, tech, fintech, education, e-commerce and many more. Each experience has shaped my ability to create thoughtful solutions that make life easier for users.​
For me, design is about more than aesthetics—it’s about solving real-world problems and creating value for people every day.

Personal Life
When I’m not designing, you’ll find me outdoors, whether it’s surfing, snowboarding, or playing basketball. I’m always on the move, enjoying a mix of adventure and relaxation with activities like skating, reading, and playing video games. At home, I’m kept on my toes by my two mischievous Pomeranians, Phoebe and Moose.
​
I’m also a big fan of traveling and exploring new places, always on the lookout for inspiration. If you have a great book or video game recommendation, I’m all ears! For me, life is about finding joy in the little things while staying curious and creative.
