I grew up in an environment where emotions were celebrated, not hidden. That greatly shaped who I am today and how I see the world. It's given me an emotional compass that now guides everything I do as a designer and as a human.

My ability to emphathize is my greatest asset. I’ll put myself right in the weeds to understand those around me. If you know me, you know I’m sensitive, emotional, and a crier. But those qualities are what allow me to connect deeply and design experiences that actually feel human.

My goal as a designer is simple: to create experiences that feel warm, intentional, and human. I want to dismantle the robotic expectations of technology and instead offer people something that speaks to both the heart and the mind.

That curiosity and drive have been with me all along, from fixing my mom’s necklaces with my tiny blue pliers to taking apart and rebuilding furniture just to see how it all fit together. Design, for me, has always been about exploring, adapting, and solving through creativity.

Beyond design, I find inspiration in writing, long walks, and expanding my taste palette. Send me recipes or hikes in the bay!
