About me
Hey there!
I’m currently a Senior Product Designer specializing in design systems at Walmart. I’m graduate from University of California, Irvine currently located in Brooklyn, NY.
From my background in UX design, graphic design and marketing, I have always wanted to create an impact through my work. I learned I wanted to design with a purpose and create a positive impact to those who I design for.
As I got into UX design, I found design systems particularly interesting as I create a system of reusable and accessible building blocks, best practices, and standards that can help designers make larger decisions about the user experience in their design process. I love using both my creativity and problem-solving skills to create a better experience for designers and impact their lives through design.
During my free time, I enjoy watching TV shows and movies, bouldering, exploring new restaurants, coffee and boba shops, attending concerts/music festivals, and mentoring new designers transitioning into into UX design. Whenever I have the opportunity, I enjoy traveling around the world (most recently Curaçao, Japan, Amsterdam, Paris) and exploring different cultures.
