I was literally born smiling. Or so I’ve been told. So it’s no wonder that I value empathy, communication, and bringing joy through my design.

I want to design experiences that feel human.

Design & Me

Why design?

I am very passionate about making things easy to use for people. My grandmother was an instrumental part of my childhood and as time passed, seeing her get older and no longer be able to use products easily was really baffling to me. Even as a kid I thought, “Why’d they design it this way?”

With my background in art and developing interest in accessibility, I wanted to make those designs better. The people that interact with them deserve better.

What excites me

I am driven by a passion for solving problems and the urge to create effortless experiences. When all the cogs fall into place I feel a great sense of satisfaction. I love it! And I love working towards that.

Me, when everything falls into place. Ahh~

My hobbies

Art & Illustration 🎨

Art has always been my anchor. Whether through drawing, painting, or lettering, expressing myself creatively has been a constant in my life.

Crafting ✂️

There’s something really rewarding about creating with your hands which is why I enjoy crafting in many forms, whether it’s making handmade cards, piecing together costumes, or restoring furniture.

Video Games 🎮

Video games have always been a hobby of mine. A mix of opposites, my favorite genres are calming farming simulators and engaging first person shooters.

Boba 🧋

Can coffee & tea be a hobby? A favorite past time of mine is meeting friends at a cafe or chatting over boba.

UX Wizards, Co-Founder

As an ambivert I’ve found much joy in meeting, getting acquainted with, and later mentoring fellow designers as the Co-Founder of UX Wizards.

Illustrations
