How I found design

My first interaction design project at the University of Washington was about helping people visualize their sleep data. What drew me in most was brainstorming with users. I loved how open those conversations felt—there was room for all kinds of ideas, even the seemingly crazy ones. That experience made me want to keep exploring design. I went on to study Human–Computer Interaction at Georgia Tech, and today I’m a product designer at Brivo.

Always trying something new

I like exploring unfamiliar ways to design and make things. That curiosity has taken me across mobile and desktop experiences, VR, wearables, and in-car interfaces. Outside work, I paint landscapes, experiment with different styles, and try new crafts. I once made a cardboard capsule machine for a friend that randomly picked which gift they’d get. I love the process of making something—and the surprise of giving it to someone.

What gets me talking

I love conversations about philosophy, history, and questions about human nature that don’t have easy answers. If you could press a button to bring back someone you loved, should you? That’s the kind of question I can happily spend an evening talking through.

About me

“Less is More”

I believe a simple experience comes from being clear about what people are trying to achieve. I focus on what they need to understand and do, then question how each step, interaction, and detail helps them get there.

That means using familiar language, making the next action easy to find, and giving information the attention it deserves. I remove unnecessary effort and keep the guidance people need to move forward confidently. My goal is to make the path to theirs feel clear, efficient, and effortless.

“Great UX Begins with Deeper Understanding”

I’m naturally curious about what happens beneath the surface. I want to understand why a system behaves a certain way, where its information comes from, and what its limits are. That understanding helps me turn complex system behavior into clear, accurate information, so people know what’s happening and what they can do next.

It also helps me work more thoughtfully with developers. When a design runs into a technical constraint, I want to understand what makes it difficult and explore what we could change together. Sometimes a different interaction, flow, or way of presenting information can still meet the user’s need. Understanding the constraints gives me a stronger role in shaping what’s possible.
