About

With a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration and Management from California Polytechnic State University-San Luis Obispo, I have cultivated a robust career in product design. Currently, I am a Product Designer at Korion Health, where I focus on creating comprehensive UI/UX designs and ensuring accessibility compliance. Previously, I contributed to LocalArena Tix, enhancing user experiences for a sports ticket sales platform. At Biometa, I developed an app to track fitness progress, emphasizing user-centric design and usability testing. My experience at EY as a UX/UI Consultant involved designing financial risk dashboards and prototyping innovative solutions like a cryptocurrency rewards system. I also developed risk frameworks for asset management, integrating risk management into investment strategies. My diverse experience across industries underscores my commitment to delivering intuitive and effective design solutions.
