About me

UX Designer based in San Francisco

I grew up in San Francisco playing taiko drums, acting in musical theatre, shooting hoops, and selling Girl Scout cookies. My first love was photography, which then grew to an interest in design. The desire has always been to connect with others on our most human qualities.

I have enjoyed living in some amazing cities including San Francisco, Toronto, and Hong Kong. There’s something beautiful about finding my rhythm in a new place with favorite neighborhood coffee shops, well memorized bus routes, and budding friendships. Currently, you can find me in the Bay Area and I'll often be playing tennis or at a live concert.

As a designer, I am a practical creative who enjoys projects that help people navigate life through empathetic choices and thoughtful details. With experience crossing from creative to product, I am an adaptable team member with an eagerness to fill any design gaps both small and large.

Let's connect.
