I’m originally from Southern California, with stops along the way in Kansas City, Rexburg, the Philippines (Region 03), New York, and now Seattle. Each place has added something different to how I see the world. In New York, surrounded by energy and creativity, I discovered a love for design and the importance of working quickly, thoughtfully, and with empathy.
While studying at FIT, I worked night shifts as a doorman in Tribeca. That time taught me a lot about people—how to listen, how to stay grounded, and how to show up for others. Those lessons continue to shape how I approach design.
In advertising, I’ve looked for teams that value both skill and humility. I care about doing excellent work, but just as much about how we treat each other along the way. For me, good design isn’t just about outcomes—it’s about creating something meaningful, together.
As a product designer, I stay focused on solving the right problems in the right order. I believe the best solutions come from being curious, asking good questions, testing assumptions, and staying close to the people we’re designing for. Value comes when design isn’t just beautiful or functional, but relevant and well-timed. That means constantly balancing user needs, business goals, and the reality of how products evolve.
