About me
I’m a Bay Area native, UC Berkeley grad, and self-taught designer. Prior to Uber I was Design Director at YML where I worked on apps for Disney, Staples, Home Depot, and The North Face, just to name a few.
I've spent the bulk of my career leading design teams and driving collaboration in order to create best-in-class experiences. I absolutely love solving business and customer needs through design. I am obsessed with the details of design systems, components, and interactions, but also am thoroughly involved in defining the vision and strategy for each project. On any given day, I am a creative facilitator, design advocate, team cheerleader, and idea defender. I lead with empathy, and never forget who we are designing for: the customer. I understand that you cant have great products without both great visuals and UX, and the way I work reflects that.
In a past life, I majored in Biology at UC Berkeley with a focus in healthcare, an experience which has given me the empathy and user-advocacy I practice in my design process. When I’m not designing, I’m constantly hunting for the next sushi hot spot, taking a stroll with my pup, or visiting warm places with beaches and palm trees 🌴
