about me
I'm a UX/product designer who strives to learn and create.
I started out designing graphics and my own Tumblr theme. Now I work with people from all kinds of backgrounds toward a common goal: empowering users, with a focus on social impact and accessibility. Currently a UX Designer at Synopsys.
I studied at the University of Michigan School of Information: an MS in Information (UX Research & Design) and a BS in Information (UX Design) with a minor in Art & Design.

off the clock
I collect stationery from the cities I travel to and make spreads in my Hobonichi Weeks planner. I'm usually listening to Cafuné, Underscores or Yves (I've seen all of them in concert!), and I'm always down for Thai, Mexican, Korean or Japanese food.
