I'm a product designer based in SF Bay Area, currently studying Design and Cognitive Science @ UC Davis, class of 27'.
I didn’t grow up dreaming of wireframes. I started by creating things because I enjoyed it, stuck with it because it brought smiles to others' faces, and found UX after realizing my favorite part was talking to users and seeing my work actually solve their problems. Helping people is what keeps me grounded in design. Also, it turns out this is a real job, which my parents were thrilled to learn.
Outside of class, I lead and teach UX in student design clubs, helping other designers grow their skills and build confidence. Teaching has also been one of the best ways I’ve refined my own skills. Explaining your design out loud is still the fastest way to realize what doesn’t make sense. Very humbling. Also incredibly effective.
