personal quote

"of course i struggle, I just don't quit!"

My journey to design was anything but traditional. After years in the Bay Area tech scene mastering supply chain and procurement, I realized my true passion lay in solving complex challenges creatively. Beneath the spreadsheets, I was driven by a desire to design solutions that were as intuitive as they were impactful.
‍
Then came a pivotal moment: renovating my childhood home. In the midst of the dust and renovations, I discovered the transformative power of design to create spaces—and experiences—that feel purposeful and seamless. That realization set me on a new path, leading me to the dynamic world of UX and brand design.
Today, I use platforms like Figma, Shopify, and Webflow to craft user-friendly websites that turn complexity into clarity. My mission? To create digital experiences that captivate users and help brands thrive.
‍
When I’m not designing, you’ll find me hiking trails, exploring vibrant cities, or diving into the art and culture that inspire my creativity. These experiences fuel my designs, keeping them fresh, human, and grounded in real-world connections.

My Values

Always listen.

Your vision, my priority

Great design starts with listening. I ask thoughtful questions and actively tune into your goals, ensuring your vision is at the heart of everything I create. I don't just take on projects-I build partnerships rooted in open communication and mutual trust, setting the stage for success.

Communicate Clearly.

Keeping it open & honest

Exceptional designs come from exceptional communication. I'll keep you informed every step of the way, encouraging open dialogue to ensure we're always aligned. By actively listening and collaborating, we'll bring your ideas to life with clarity and purpose.

‍

Deliver quality.

No shortcuts, just excellence

Good enough? Not for me. I’m all about meticulous attention to detail and delivering work that exceeds expectations. Quality isn’t just a goal; it’s a standard. Whether it’s a bold design or the smallest pixel, I ensure every element is crafted to perfection.

Embrace flexibility.

Rolling with the changes

Projects evolve, and I’m here for it. I approach every twist and turn with empathy, adaptability, and a collaborative mindset. No matter the challenge, I’m committed to finding creative solutions that work for you—and keep us moving forward.

Problem solving.

Creativity with purpose

To me, design is about more than looking good—it’s about solving real challenges. I blend analytical thinking with creative energy to craft solutions that elevate your brand and achieve your goals. Every problem is just an opportunity waiting for the right idea.
