My Past Life
When the pandemic shut down the world, I worked in psychiatry and tackled the mental health crisis head-on as a mental health worker. Afterwards, I worked at a nonprofit called Fresh Truck, where I helped alleviate food insecurity for low-income families in the Boston area.
My time working with underserved audiences left a lasting impression on me. It made me wonder, how could I create more scalable impact with my work?
Why Design?
Building sustainable solutions is an unrelenting motivator in my “Why?” for design. Whether it's assembling IKEA furniture or shouting “Hey Siri!”, I believe that design is the bridge between innovation and making life easier.
Since a child, I had known that strong design was a universal language and carried the unique ability to captivate while serving. Design has the potential to create large-scale people impact, and marries my past with my love for detail and thoughtfully-crafted products. From replaying Nike's "Winner Stays On" campaign in my head to implicitly opting for one app over the other, design has been a driving force behind what makes me click.
