I'm a digital product designer who loves the moment a hard problem clicks into something that feels effortless.

I've been a creative tinkerer my entire life. My earliest digital design tool for creating art was Microsoft Word on my family's shared computer, and I still love learning tools that expand what I can make and how clearly I can communicate an idea.

I studied economics at UC Berkeley, where I developed an interest in how human incentives shape systems at scale. That lens still informs how I think about products today: balancing what works for an individual moment with what holds up across the larger system.

Outside of work, I'm getting my MBA at UCLA and learning to surf.

Feedback that speaks to how I work with teams and how I think through design.

"She is fast to catch on, needs little guidance to execute well, and is extremely thorough in her delivery, accounting for all sorts of edge cases beyond the requirements. She is highly collaborative and consistently synthesizes better than I've expected from any design ask."
