A bit about me

I’m a product designer and a senior at UC Davis, originally from San Francisco. I started college as an art major, wanting to capture the world in my own style, and figured out pretty quickly that I wanted to point those skills at something bigger than myself.

What I care about now is work that is simple and practical but still worth looking at. Lately that has meant Moober, a UC Davis rideshare app where I redesigned how riders and drivers get matched, and Buzzit, a marketplace for students to book each other’s services. On both I work end-to-end: sitting with the problem, sketching, prototyping in Figma, and pushing pixels until the flow gets out of the way.

Away from the screen I’m usually making beats in FL Studio, out with a camera at sunset, or watching an F1 weekend.

The detours

A few stamps in the passport. What I get up to when I’m not designing.
