About Me

📖 I am a designer based in Seattle, Washington, with an interest in impactful and meaningful design. 



💻 I have experience in UI & UX design, computer science, illustration, motion graphic design, graphic design, and collaboration. By combining my computer science education and creative background, I’m able to tackle and solve complex problems.





🙋🏻‍♀️ I believe that great storytelling and a strong sense of empathy lead to a great design. By working hard, working together, and having fun along the way, the best designs come to life.

When I’m not designing

In my free time, I enjoy baking, crocheting, reading, playing badminton, and seeking out new adventures. Exploring new places and experiences introduces me to different cultures and perspectives, helping me stay curious and continually practice empathy in both my life and in my work as a designer.
