About Me

Work Life

I’m all about shaping digital products that make people’s lives easier and better. I have around 9 years of experience working as a Product UI Designer. I’m currently designing scalable, accessible experiences for LevelBlue’s cybersecurity products.

I collaborate across UX, product, and engineering to build consistent, efficient, and functional experiences. As part of a small design team of 2 to 3 people, we use agile methodology. I’ve learned to stay flexible, iterative and collaborative — adapting to shifting priorities and finding smart solutions even with limited resources.

With a background in visual design and web production, I’ve worked across industries including enterprise B2B tech events, science, education, and for various small businesses. Before that, I studied visual communication design, got my start in branding, web and email design.

Looking Ahead

I’m also fascinated by how psychology and design intersect—how thoughtful design can influence behavior, guide decisions, and shape how people feel. Since UI Designer roles have shifted to emphasize more UX and AI integration, I’m evolving into a Product Designer, and also a Design Strategist & Behavior Architect. This integration results in creating environments that make the right behavior feel natural, mastering understanding of people, their behaviors, and the invisible decisions that shape their choices.

I’m based in Northern California, working remotely.
