Leading with joy and purpose, I’ve discovered that exceptional work stems from aligning with core values and a strong “why.” My journey through diverse roles—spanning design, education, and entrepreneurship—has reinforced my belief in the power of collaboration and curiosity. I bring a dynamic, motivated, and inquisitive spirit to every team I join.
My Background
With a multidisciplinary background in design, education, and customer experience, I’ve developed a unique perspective on creating impactful, user-centered solutions. My Bachelor’s degree in Communication from San Diego State University and UX Design certification from Design Lab underpin my approach to thoughtful, purpose-driven work.
Currently, I’m working in a hybrid role at Slack, blending insights from the Customer Experience team with my work as a Product Designer on the Platform team. This dual perspective allows me to connect user feedback with innovative design solutions that align business goals with user needs.
UX design is the natural culmination of my career journey, enabling me to combine an entrepreneurial mindset, teaching experience, and passion for crafting intuitive user experiences. I thrive on transforming complex challenges into user-friendly, impactful designs.
Previous Experience Highlights:
As a Technical Support Engineer I gained firsthand experience working alongside Product Design and Engineering teams, refining my ability to understand and address user pain points.
As an Art & Experiential Education Instructor I developed strong communication and empathy skills through teaching, which deeply inform my design approach.
In my entrepreneurial pursuits I founded a clothing company, where I honed my skills in product development, market analysis, and brand strategy.
