about me.

my story.

Once upon a time, I began an engineering degree at UCI (big dreams of working at NASA 🚀) but soon learned it was NOT for me. Trial and error! It was not long until I stumbled upon UX & product design. I was absolutely enamored with the sheer impact of the field, as there's no space that can't benefit from thoughtful design, especially in today's ever-evolving technological landscape 🌐.

Fast forward to present-day ⏩: I hold a Bachelors in Informatics (specializing in Human Computer Interaction 👩🏽‍💻) from UCI and am currently designing part-time from SoCal 🌞 in non-profit and startup spaces. I've been actively searching for full-time roles in a variety of industries, but have a keen interest in healthcare and EdTech products.

how I design.

To me, design is all about learning! 🧠 To create a product, you have to learn from your users, your team, and the process itself. Feedback is invaluable, driving improvement not just in the product but in yourself as a designer. I bring this mindset to every project I work on and emerge a more confident designer, ready for whatever comes next.

outside of work.

I have a million hobbies as a result of my never-ending curiosity (baking 👩🏽‍🍳, fashion 👜, and piano 🎹 to name a few). Lately, I’ve been sharing vlogs and other content on YouTube and TikTok to document my life and other passions 🎥—part of my ongoing love for storytelling and creating.
