Designing thoughtful systems, user experiences, and
product direction

I'm a Product Designer with a formal education in Data Science from UC Berkeley.

I partner with startups and nonprofits on product design, UX, and cross-functional work, grounding decisions in research, analytics, and clear visual communication.

I’m based in Southern California and open to relocation for full-time roles with positive impact.
