Reflecting on my journey, being let go from a draining sales role at a buzzing unicorn company turned out to be the nudge I didn't realize I needed. It was in 2015 when I made the decision to venture into UX. Along the way, I've been self-teaching graphic design since the age of 13, initially crafting t-shirt designs for customers at my mom's custom apparel store. Even before officially diving into design, I sustained myself by selling thousands of stickers on eBay and creating bespoke bachelor party shirts and save-the-dates.

From that pivotal moment onwards, I've accumulated 9 years of extensive UI/UX experience across various platforms, including web, iOS, Android, and accessible design. Currently, I'm refining my craft with AI imagery, with Krea.ai as my preferred design tool.

Discovering UX has been a serendipitous journey, and I strongly believe in the power of pursuing skills that captivate you, even before envisioning how they'll be applied. Let's join forces and shape the future through design.

I'm passioniate, er no obsessed with...  Wake up! I live and work in San Francisco. I've done a number of things before ultimately finding my way into design. I'm a former small business owner, turned sales professional turned Product Designer. I'm largely self-taught and learned much of what I know designing custom t-shirts. 

I value efficiency above all else and that's what design means to me -- conveying information in the most concise way possible.
