Background

Background


"I use my unique perspective to understand the needs of others. I seek to design with consistency, innovation, and empathy."


"I use my unique perspective to understand the needs of others. I seek to design with consistency, innovation, and empathy."


"I use my unique perspective to understand the needs of others. I seek to design with consistency, innovation, and empathy."

Growing up, my mom shared with me an appreciation for beauty and my dad for strategic thinking. These two qualities lead me to approach design as a way to solve problems with both empathy and precision.


I’m motivated by a genuine desire to help people through creating meaningful solutions. My go-to question is "How would I want this person to help if I were them?", guiding my user centered designs.

Outside of design, I was born in San Jose, CA and raised in Dallas, TX. I received my Bachelor of Science in Marketing at the University of Texas at Dallas, where I studied the intersection of customer value and business. I later transferred my marketing skills to technology sales at IBM, where I spent three years uncovering client needs and communicating complex tech solutions.

Now, I'm focused on building experience in design using Figma and Adobe tools. For fun, you can find me cooking NYT recipes, playing with dogs, and hanging out with loved ones!
