Growing up, I loved to draw princesses, mermaids and other fantastical creatures. When I learned I could make art a career, I dove in headfirst – full send!
I graduated with a BFA in Animation/Illustration from San Jose State University, where I wore many hats, from illustrator, to 3D artist, compositing, and even producing an award-winning short film called My Turn!
As a generalist, I gravitated toward
three things: people, process, and design. That curiosity for how things come together—and my passion for user advocacy—led me back to my creative roots and into UX and design.
