About

With a Bachelor of Science in Informatics from UC Irvine's Donald Bren School of Information and Computer Sciences, I have cultivated a robust career in design and technology. Currently, I am a UI Designer at DIRECTV, where I focus on enhancing user experience through innovative interface designs. My previous role as a Product Designer at Caroo involved developing an employee recognition feature to boost workplace engagement. At StartSmart & Grasshopperfund, I contributed to a project that won the 2021 UC Irvine New Product Development Competition and participated in Techstars & BlackStone LaunchPad's Fall Fellowship. My experience as an IT Assistant at UC Irvine involved redesigning department websites to improve accessibility and conducting CMS training for faculty. My diverse background in design and technology equips me with the skills to create impactful digital solutions.
