About Me

Salutations! Thanks for stopping by! I’m currently an interaction design student at Santa Monica College, but I wasn’t always a designer.

Previously, I worked in the beauty industry launching products in the skincare and color categories. After working for three years in product marketing, and with the idea of doing a career transition percolating in my mind, I took the plunge and made the career change to work in UX design! I am inspired by everything from David Hockney’s iPad illustrations to the subtle hand drawn water colors that make up the anime Spirited Away. I suppose, my resulting designs are a carefully considered, alluring combination of classic UX conventions and a bit of whimsical play.

Aside from UX design, some of my other passions are reading science fiction, pottery, watching the real housewives, and art therapy.
