About
I am a why wonderer driven by curiosity.
As someone who's worn many hats – from helping people buy their dream home to comforting patients and their loved ones in hospice care, and even mixing drinks behind the bar – my passion for helping others has always been a constant. This passion coupled with my yearning desire to understand why has made me a hungry UX Designer.

about me
professionally
"Be able to think on your feet"
My first real estate broker instilled me with that knowledge. He simply meant the ability to problem solve is invaluable - always learn, always ask questions, understand your audience and gain knowledge from your mistakes.
This mindset coupled with my background in customer advocacy has honed my ability to empathize with users, interpret their concerns, and deliver solutions that prioritize their needs.
Versatile
I firmly believe that versatility is the key to longevity. The more skills you possess, the greater your ability to thrive and endure in any environment.
Collaborative
I was voted Teammate of the Year by my peers in 2020, won Big Team Bronze in 2015 and 2016, and nominated for Team of the Year in 2018 in my past life.
Agile
I excel in navigating ambiguity and thrive in high-pressure, fast-paced environments, where my adaptability and quick thinking shine brightest.
Creative
From crafting captivating visuals to bringing innovative projects to life, I have a passion for creative expression in all its forms.

I Make Waves
As an eternal explorer, I'm always on the move—whether it's wayfaring to new places abroad or trekking on foot (preferably in Vans) closer to home. I live to craft memories through snapping photos, penciling sketches, embarking on DIY projects... essentially just creating something new.
When I'm not creating through traditional means, you'll find me riding waves, sidewalk surfing, or telling deadpan dad jokes. Being a penchant for adventure, I'm on a mission to squeeze every drop of experience out of life—preferably with a side of good vibes and belly laughs.
Vans fanatic
Shoes are a reflection ones soul, or sole, if you will. And I believe the amount of shoes that one has is never too much. My partner disagrees, however, and I now have to get rid of a pair of Vans anytime I get a pair of Vans... or else I'd have 1,000's.
Useless knowledge purveyor
Did you know that Cleopatra VII of Egypt was born closer in time to the first Moon landing than to the construction of the Great Pyramid of Giza..? My mind is always wondering and I have a tendency to rabbit hole random tidbits when I can't sleep.
Creative conjurer
I just like to make, refine and repurpose things. Photobooks, shoe designs, cocktails, repurposing furniture, renovating houses, app concepts, playlists, impacts in lives. None of us live forever but our legacy endures through the creations and impacts we leave behind.
Spotify playlist maestro
Feeling happy, sad, indifferent, angry, excited, anxious, inspired, nostalgic, relieved...? There is different music for different moods and chances are I've tried to make a playlist for it. Feel free to peruse my Spotify for a playlist.
