About Me
I became a designer because I love creating experiences that truly make a difference. For me, it all starts with listening and understanding people’s stories, which drives me to design solutions that have a lasting, positive impact.
Designing with intention and empathy
I’m passionate about creating user-centered solutions that make a real difference, especially in the education and travel industries. My background in marketing and education has helped me sharpen my storytelling and communication skills, which I now use in product design. I love learning about the world and aim to design experiences that promote cultural exchange and understanding.
With three years of marketing and sales experience, I can balance user needs with business goals, delivering designs that engage people and drive results. When I’m not designing, you’ll likely find me playing pool, tennis, pickleball, and board games.
