I am an Experience Designer with deep knowledge in creating innovative customer experiences, strategic foresight and futures-thinking methodologies, as well as building in-product modal engagements. I also have skills in communication design, facilitating human-centered design workshops, and conducting ethnographic research.

I have an intuitive and free-thinking "qualitative," big-picture mindset. I encourage others to explore alternative options, question the "status quo," and innovate problem-solving solutions. I strive to find a clear strategic path through discovery, solutioning, experiment implementation, data analysis, and iteration.

Additionally, I have honed my quantitative and analytical abilities over many years. I pay close attention to detail and logic, focusing on practicality and feasibility. I possess technical skills in front-end development using web languages such as HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, and conduct thorough QA testing. I am proficient in several design software applications and third-party app integrations.

I thrive in innovative, fast-paced work environments with diverse challenges. I enjoy collaborating with others and engaging them in creative ways, ultimately enhancing customer satisfaction and driving growth. Through empathetic collaboration and exploration of unique perspectives, I aim to transform customer experience.

BACKGROUND

I grew up on the West Coast in a family of artists. My entire life has been a journey of creative exploration. Painting and illustration were my first passions, and in 2012 I founded Wolf Child, a fashion brand showcasing my illustrations.

I successfully ran my own business for eight years. This experience provided me with a wide range of essential skills. I was involved in all aspects of the business and developed an ability to adapt quickly to ensure smooth operations. I prioritized sustainable growth and personally designed and sourced ethical apparel manufacturing in Los Angeles garment factories. I also collaborated with various brands on product design and partnered with Project Runway winner Michelle Lesniak for a fashion collection. 

I am skilled in digital illustration, graphic design, logos, and branding. Drawing on my background as a visual designer, my curiosity and thirst for knowledge led me to the world of experience design. Through this, I have discovered a love for coding.

During weekends, you can find me gardening, hiking, cooking, and spending time with my two cats, Ganymede and Io. I'm also a self-taught herbalist and have a passion for studying naturopathic medicine. Occasionally, I exhibit my paintings at Antler Gallery and Talon Gallery in Portland, Oregon.
