ABOUT

What's made me the person I am today? My family, my culture, my experiences, and my hobbies and interests. I won't be able to capture all of that in a single page, but here's a quick snapshot 📸

🐔

My family raised chickens in our backyard growing up in Texas

🎨

I run my own Esty shop with hand-made artwork!

🔥

I learned glassblowing in college and somehow managed to survive it after getting a second-degree hand burn

📕

My favorite book right now is the mental health memoir Maybe You Should Talk to Someone

🍵

I’ll always choose a cup of tea over coffee

👻

I can’t watch horror movies, but I love watching horror gameplays on Youtube

MY DESIGN PHILOSOPHY

Empathy over sympathy 💗

Empathy fosters compassion and connection - compassion for our users, connection to the product experience we’re creating. It's about more than just understanding our users' needs—it's about truly connecting with them on a human level. I hold space to actively listen to our users, put myself into their shoes, and advocate on their behalf so that the solutions we deliver create joy and drive meaningful impact.

Collaboration every step of the way 🤝

Everyone’s perspective brings new values and ideas to the table. It takes a team to tackle the complex, interdisciplinary challenges that face us today. Diversity of perspective is a powerful catalyst for innovation and success to create a rich tapestry of ideas and insights. With ideas both big and small, I believe in leveraging our strengths and weaknesses to achieve thoughtful designs and remarkable outcomes together.

Innovation with a purpose 🌱

Innovation isn’t just about using the flashiest new piece of technology on the market. True innovation goes beyond simply adopting the latest technology trend. Instead, it involves a thoughtful approach to problem-solving that prioritizes addressing fundamental needs and serving users in meaningful ways. Real ingenuity comes from the creative intersection to develop solutions that have a tangible and positive impact on people's lives. By focusing on serving and empowering users, we can create more meaningful change in the world.

Enough about me, tell me about you!

No one likes a one-sided conversation. Let's chat!
