is a designer, ex-software engineer, creating meaningful, effective, and tangible work. She leverages her technical thinking to create well-rounded, complete solutions.
At the same time, she values craft, creativity, and authenticity. To her, if her work can connect with even one person, then it is worth every second of effort.
In the world of digital uncertainty, she emphasizes creating for the human mind and heart.
Hey, thanks for dropping by! I hope you enjoyed looking at my work.
When making designs, making something "look good" should be a bare minimum requirement. Making an impact is what matters more to me.
Seeing someone wear my designs around the office, being trusted and commissioned for very personal art pieces, or hearing that my work is the reason why someone even knows about my university a cappella club. These anecdotes are what push me to keep going.
I am someone that cares and creates with my full heart. I make sure that my work is intentional and thoughtful.
If this resonates with you, I'd love to chat! Let's make something happen.
