As a user experience designer with a background in marketing, branding, user research, and storytelling, I bring a unique and well-rounded perspective to the design process. I’m proficient in user-centered design, UI/UX design, visual design, and research, with a track record of designing and developing products from concept to market for various clients. I am a dependable partner for clients and have had the experience of being a brand custodian for several well-known global brands. With strong communication skills, including experience presenting to diverse audiences and facilitating team workshops, I can effectively collaborate with cross-functional teams and multiple stakeholders to achieve project goals. I enjoy finding ways to give back to my community in my free time. I volunteer as a photographer for the Sunnyvale Public Library. I’ve been distributing curated boxes of baby books, goodies, and enrichment resources for economically-disadvantaged new moms.
