About Me

So a little background on who I am….

I’m a bartender/server/manager turned Junior Product Designer and UX Researcher and lifelong creative whose been blending aesthetics and empathy since before I knew what “user-centered” even meant.

Creativity runs in the family (shoutout to my mom!), and I’ve been making things for as long as I can remember — from selling handmade accessories in my online shop to studying photography in college, where I first fell in love with visual storytelling.

“I design like I bartend - intentional, intuitive, and always listening.”

I’ve had the privilege of living in different cities, countries, and cultures — and every move shaped how I see the world and connect with people. That curiosity and adaptability naturally led me to hospitality, where I honed my instincts for reading a room, leading teams, and crafting experiences on the fly.

When I’m not Designing, you’ll probably find me…

    **Currently obsessed with Paint by Numbers

  • Taking random online classes because I literally LOVE learning new things.

  • Taste-testing Ramen, Japanese and Italian food like it’s my job. 🍜🍝

  • Being in complete aww whenever I go see my favorite artist (Alex Greys) paintings at The Entheon at CoSM

  • Finding adventure traveling to new places and eating as much as I can. 😂😂

  • Slinging drinks behind the bar and perfecting the perfect “Mock-tail”

  • Getting lost in live music….or music in general. 🎻🎼
