My design journey started in branding and print, where I created logos, packaging, and social media campaigns for nonprofits and startups. Those early years taught me the value of clarity and consistency in communication.

But over time, I found myself drawn toward Interaction design, the space where empathy, systems thinking and creativity intersect to solve real human problems.

That curiosity led me to pursue my Master’s in Interaction Design at California College of the Arts, where I’ve been reimagining experiences that go beyond visuals to foster connection, usability, and inclusivity.

I’m a Note-taker and Visual thinker. Sketching helps me clarify ideas, while explaining them out loud helps me refine them. I prefer structured communication: in-person or video meetings for depth, texts and calls for quick updates, and clear written feedback that’s actionable.

On my best days, I’m relaxed, confident, and open to trying new things. On my worst days, I may be anxious or overthinking, but I always return to my core belief: Design is about people first.
Whether it’s a big project or a small detail, I trust the process.
