Welcome, get to know me

I’m a product designer who thrives on turning complex problems into seamless, user-friendly solutions. At Carvana, I built and optimized B2B products for dealers in the wholesale auction space. Before that, I worked as a behavior therapist, strengthening my empathy and communication skills while supporting students with autism.

I’m passionate about crafting user-focused experiences through collaboration, stakeholder input, and continuous feedback—because teamwork truly makes the dream work! I approach design with a growth mindset, seeing challenges as learning opportunities and refining solutions through curiosity and experimentation.

Beyond design, I love sharing knowledge and empowering others. I’ve spoken at Design@UCR's Design Panel and will be a judge for DesignVerse 2025. Engaging with students fuels my creativity, challenges my perspective, and reinforces my belief in lifelong learning and mentorship.

When I’m not in Figma, you’ll find me arranging flowers, chasing sunsets, traveling, or enjoying some good samgyupsal.
