Who even is she?

As a maker and tinker, I am constantly striving to learn and improve the world around me, making it more efficient and beautiful. I have a strong curiosity and a love for learning new things. Additionally, I enjoy working on design systems and embarking on side projects.

Places I've worked

Coda

Design systems / Documentation / Visual design / Product thinking

Working at Coda, an all-in-one doc that connects teams and streamlines workflows, has been an enriching experience. My focus has been on the main document surface and the product design system. Being part of a startup in a highly competitive market has taught me invaluable lessons in delivering a high-value product that stands out from the rest. One of the most significant lessons I've learned is the importance of collaboration. I've developed a deep appreciation for cross-collaboration with teams in marketing, business, engineering, sales, and customer support.

Zillow

Design systems / Mobile design / Visual design / Product thinking

During my time at Zillow, I had the opportunity to work as part of a small, two-person design team focused on the mobile application. As a lead designer, my main responsibility was to create a new and innovative mobile app experience for home buyers. This involved incorporating smart lock technology to enable users to tour homes and unlock doors seamlessly. Additionally, the app provided valuable information and follow-up steps to help users connect with real estate agents.

Starbucks

Mobile design / Visual design / Motion design

My first full-time position was at this little coffee company named Starbucks. I was a part of the digital product team responsible for bringing a mobile coffee store and ordering system to your fingertips. My primary focus was on refining the rewards system and exploring innovative ideas for the future of the coffee app. This role allowed me to develop my skills of craft and mobile design.

Education

Graphic design

Studying graphic design led me to discover software design, which granted me a foundational understanding of how information can be utilized and presented. I feel most in tune with myself when I am utilizing both my intellectual and creative faculties to solve problems and innovate new and improved methods of achieving tasks. My focus lies primarily on the world around me, constantly probing its structures and systems to find ways to drive progress forward.
