About

Trying to find the beauty in human interaction. A Product Designer based in Orange County, I’m passionate about crafting beautiful, accessible products that enhance people’s lives. After graduating from UC Irvine, I gained valuable experience in high-pressure healthcare roles, where I developed a deep sense of empathy. During this time, I noticed accessibility gaps in the products my clients relied on daily—opportunities to create solutions that could truly improve their lives. This realization inspired me to pursue UX Design. Through this journey, I’ve refined my design and user research skills, allowing me to focus on building inclusive and accessible experiences that make a difference
