About

With a B.S. in Cognitive Science specializing in Design and Interaction from UC San Diego, I have cultivated a robust foundation in user-centered design and research. As the Founding Product Designer at Skye, I lead comprehensive design processes for a multi-sided marketplace, focusing on executive coaching. My role involves strategizing research, defining product requirements, and implementing engaging user experiences. Previously, I spearheaded a team of 12 at UC San Diego, crafting marketing campaigns and digital content for performing arts events. My internship at UCSD Design Lab honed my skills in adaptive scaffolding and community design, where I facilitated a large-scale online workshop. At Sony, I collaborated with the Human Factors Team to enhance social interactions through television, conducting extensive user research and presenting innovative solutions. My diverse experiences reflect a commitment to creating impactful, user-driven designs.
