ABOUT ME
Growing up in the Silicon Valley of California has given me a unique perspective and background moving forward in the design industry. I believe that there is an important intersection between business and design that we need to engage with. Design is necessary to further innovation and grounded in strategy and analytics. To be successful, we need both working in tandem.
While most are focused on the product, I love the process. My passion is in the interaction between people and being able to combine various strengths and weaknesses when collaborating with others. The result is a more human-centered outcome that is beautiful, functional, and effective.
My goal, as an organized and detailed individual, is to use my technical skills and previous experience to contribute to projects that address our needs and have a meaningful impact on the world we live in.
