My Story

From healthcare to non-profit work—people are at the core of who I am. When the pandemic shut down the world a few years back, I worked in psychiatry and tackled the mental health crisis head-on as a mental health worker. Afterwards, I helped alleviate food insecurity for low-income families in Boston.

Getting fresh produce to households that need it most.

The Fire Inside

Empathizing and building sustainable solutions are unrelenting motivators 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 became a driving force behind what makes me click.
