About Me

I'm a seasoned designer based in San Francisco, CA, native to the Bay Area, with over a decade of design experience. My core belief centers on fostering strong connections between brands and their audience through exceptional design. This philosophy drives me to collaborate closely with others to craft optimal solutions to any challenge.

My educational background includes a B.S. in Interactive Media Design, and I've dedicated more than ten years to refining my skills. I initially gained valuable experience in a well-established digital agency before transitioning to a high-paced fintech startup, where I continued to sharpen my expertise. Presently, I am immersed in the Business Intelligence sector.

Beyond work, I cherish quality time with friends and family, as well as indulging my passion for cooking—whether it's experimenting in the kitchen or grilling outdoors. Cooking, like design, is an art that requires patience and continuous learning. I've embraced the valuable lessons from culinary mishaps, using them as stepping stones to enhance my skills for the future.
