About me
Hey there!
I’m currently a Senior Product Designer specializing in design systems at Walmart. With a background in UX design, graphic design, and marketing, I’ve always been driven to create meaningful impact through my work. Over time, I discovered my passion for designing with purpose—crafting solutions that positively affect the people I design for.
As I deepened my expertise in UX, I became particularly drawn to design systems. I love building reusable, accessible components, best practices, and standards that empower designers to make informed decisions and enhance the user experience. Combining creativity with problem-solving, I strive to create a more seamless and efficient design process.
Outside of work, I enjoy watching TV shows and movies, bouldering, exploring new restaurants, coffee and boba shops, and attending concerts and music festivals. I also enjoy mentoring new designers transitioning into UX, as I myself took a non-traditional path, graduating from the University of California, Irvine. Whenever I can, I love traveling the world—most recently visiting Curaçao, Japan, Amsterdam, and Paris—to experience different cultures.
