Hello hello
Problem solver | story teller | Cat lover

Annnd...what about me, like most of us, I stayed at home for the past year and washed my hands like crazy. 🤷🏻

Mindset as a product designer
My background in art and economics shapes the way I practice product design:
I see creativity as a search for an optimal merger of functionality and aesthetics, rather than the individual expression of oneself. As a hybrid, I specialize in delivering beautiful designs balancing business outcome as well as use needs.

In my spare time
The passion for human forms and emotions has always been at my heart.
Whether by reading books about human anatomy, researching frameworks of interpreting the canvas through a lens of gender, practicing with different mediums or hosting drink and draw session with friends, I grasp every opportunity to capture the beauty of the human form and emotion from the way that I see it. You can find some of my work here.

I feel extremely lucky to have benefited from the wisdom of many kind and inspiring souls in the design industry along my journey of product design, which motivated me to become a mentor myself for the UX internship program at the University of Michigan. If you're also passionate about design, art, mentorship, new ideas and want to chat, don't hesitate to reach out. Shoot me an email or find me from the places below on the internet.
