Designing with intentionality
At a young age, I was always fascinated by fonts and how they affect the way people think. My interest for design and technology early on led me to receive a unique degree, combining Arts, Technology and the Business of Innovation.
I'm passionate about solving large organizational problems. Most recently, I developed an experience that brings creative minds together in-person over the simple ritual of coffee, where the most meaningful connections happen. Previously, I designed credit experiences for small businesses at Block, and transformed legacy credit union software to improve operational efficiency for credit union representatives at CO-OP Solutions. I'm a strong advocate for users, balancing business impact with intuitive experiences and I enjoy bringing a range of ideas to life.
When I'm not advocating for users and designing intuitive experiences, you'll find me jamming on the piano, or on a never-ending quest to find unique Ube desserts in whatever city I'm exploring.
