About
I’m a Product Designer currently based in California with a passion for systems thinking, rapid iteration, and human-centered design. I bring an analytical yet creative approach to solving complex problems, from accessibility improvements to workflow driven product experiences. Curious by nature and collaborative by default, I enjoy building scalable, thoughtful solutions that balance user needs, business goals, and technical realities.
