Aloha !
I’m a product designer and researcher with a background in Communication Studies and Applied Psychology from UCSB 🌊 and a Master’s in HCI from the University of Michigan 〽️. My experiences have given me a solid foundation in understanding user needs and designing thoughtful, user-centered products.
Currently a UIUX Designer at Whisker 🐈, where I focus on crafting user-centered experiences for pet parents, equipping them with data insights to monitor their pets' health and daily activities effectively.
Last year I co-teach the SI311 Gaming & UX Research course at UMich, where I get to dive into both qualitative and quantitative research. I'm all about those “Ah-ha!” moments, connecting user needs with cutting-edge tech to create design solutions that are pixel-perfect and genuinely enjoyable!
When I'm not designing ...
I travel a lot and eat a lot :)
