Surfing
Surfing keeps me comfortable with imperfect conditions and constant adjustment. It is a useful reminder that timing and feel matter as much as planning.
is a product designer at the intersection of UX, systems, and .
Currently pursuing an M.S. in HCI from UC Santa Cruz with a focus on human-AI collaboration.
Play
What keeps me curious outside the studio.
Movement, water, and a little chaos keep my creative energy up. The same instincts that help me design systems also show up in how I reset, recharge, and stay playful.

Working Out
Training gives me structure and momentum. I like activities where consistency compounds and small improvements become visible over time.
03
Pokemon
Pokemon is still one of my favorite kinds of play: strategic, a little nostalgic, and full of systems to explore, tune, and obsess over.
About
Product designer with a computer science backbone.
I study Human Computer Interaction at UC Santa Cruz and tend to work in the space where product thinking, implementation detail, and business needs all overlap.
Background
I am most useful on projects that need a bridge between design and development. My computer science background helps me reason through constraints without losing the user perspective.
Motivation
I like work that stretches me. New tools, unfamiliar constraints, and systems-heavy problems are usually where I learn the fastest and do my best thinking.
Strengths
- Product design with systems thinking
- Bridging design and engineering
- User-centered problem solving
- Balancing business goals with user needs
