Design, for me, is a systems problem: how will this scale, who maintains it, and what breaks first? I work closest to the product — asking the hard questions early rather than polishing solutions late.
My toolkit spans Figma, design tokens, and increasingly code — I use Claude Code to prototype and build, and I've worked directly with C-suite and integrated product teams to close the gap between the vision and what ships.

I’m passionate about mentorship as more than a one-time conversation – it’s about offering ongoing support as designers grow, reflect, and find their path.
Since 2021, I’ve mentored through BobaTalks, and supported student communities as a hackathon mentor and judge. I care deeply about creating space for others to learn, ask questions, and feel seen in the design community.
I also currently help advise the Vancouver Design Community as a Director on the Board of Directors.
Beyond my day-to-day design work, I love sharing what I’ve learned (and what I’m still learning) with the community.
I’ve spoken at conferences, joined panel discussions, and led hands-on UX workshops – always aiming to make design more accessible, practical, and human.
Outside of the 9-5, I trade pixels for pour-overs and layer styles for latte art. My pandemic hobby as a home barista turned into a full-on ritual – complete with blueberry matcha experiments and maple hojicha-fueled mornings.
If I’m not brewing, I’m hopping between cafes, getting back into jazz piano,trying the best new monthly ice cream flavours (Earnest > Rain or Shine), or creating a PRD for a travel plan.
