My story

My journey into design started at university where I studied Economics and Urban Studies because of my interest in human behavior and sustainable urban design. After graduation, I found my way into the tech industry with the desire to create products that make a difference. I spent three years as a software engineer solving technical problems before finding my true calling.

I have a deep sense of empathy, fueling my craft to design products that are inclusive, delightful, and have a positive impact. I do this using product strategy, rapid research, wireframing, and user testing.

I love giving back to the design community and growing as a designer by mentoring on ADPList.

Outside of design, I enjoy traveling ✈️, volunteering at animal rescues 🐶, cooking and baking 👩‍🍳, finding the best matcha lattes 🍵, preparing for Hallowe'en a year in advance 🎃, and staying active 👟.
