I started my career as an English teacher. After getting my master’s in Learning Science Technology, I studied UX Design and became an Instructional Designer. Although I am working in Product and UX Design, my experience in education taught me to meet people where they are at. This influences my design philosophy, as I believe it is crucial to design for users rather than having users acclimatize to the design.
I am passionate about creating products to make positive change in this world. Whether it is using tech for education, mental health, or climate change mitigation, I am excited by the challenges of creating tools that help people and make the world a better place for everyone.
