I’m a UI/UX and Visual Designer based in San Francisco with 5+ years of experience creating designs that connect, communicate, and convert. With a BFA in Applied Arts specializing in Typography, along with Graduate Certificates in UX Design and Interactive Media Management, I bring a unique blend of traditional design principles, design thinking, and modern digital expertise to every project. I specialize in building cohesive brand identities, intuitive user experiences, and impactful visual communications across branding, digital marketing, product design, and prototyping. Whether working in Figma, Adobe Creative Suite, or emerging AI-powered creative tools, I thrive at the intersection of storytelling, strategy, and functionality. My approach combines user research, technical precision, and a strong eye for aesthetics to create experiences that are both beautiful and effective. I believe great design is often invisible—it simply works. From global merchandise and marketing campaigns to digital products and interactive experiences, I am committed to designing purposeful solutions that solve real problems, engage users, and drive meaningful results. As a lifelong creator and dreamer, I view design as a tool for change, crafting every digital and physical touchpoint with intention, clarity, and impact. I'm always excited to connect with fellow creatives, innovators, and collaborators who share a passion for thoughtful, human-centered design.
