I’m a freelance product designer with experience in software engineering, project management, and education. My journey began as a computer science major at UCLA and continued at Microsoft, where I worked as a front-end developer on the WinUI UX framework. This role taught me a great deal about accessibility and usability, honed my problem-solving skills and deepened my understanding of user-centered design.

Curious about the UI/UX design space, I transitioned to a design coordinator role at Boundary. There, I managed projects and contributed to the design process across diverse industries, working on dozens of brands including Natrol and Red Bull. This experience allowed me to wear many hats and collaborate closely with designers to bring intuitive and engaging designs to life.

Over the past year, I’ve immersed myself in UX design through the Google UX Certification Course, design textbooks, and hands-on projects. Additionally my work as an educator, managing large classrooms with diverse learning needs, has strengthened my empathetic approach to design. I thrive on rigorous projects that improve lives. I'm motivated by creating valuable services and products accessible to all. My design philosophy is simple: solve real problems, achieve real results.

Adjacent to design, I am fond of expressing myself through visual art forms like photography and painting. I draw inspiration from the world around me, integrating visual rhythms into my designs to create emotionally compelling user experiences.
