About me

I am a designer who loves sinking ​my teeth into complex end-to-end ​experiences and creating seamless ​solutions through service and ​product design. I am also very ​passionate about leading ​community engagements to further ​design practices within ​organizations.


Through several projects, I have ​applied UX & UI design, service ​design, and user research ​practices to resolve both client and ​internal needs that resulted in ​measurable impact.


In addition to projects, I have been ​involved in several initiatives at ​work including workshop ​facilitation, school engagements, ​mentorship opportunities, and ​leading community efforts through ​guilds and education programs.


In my free time, I travel, read fiction, ​doodle, enjoy walks on Chicago's ​606 trail, attend concerts, tend to ​my indoor plants, and watch horror ​movies.
