I am a Bay Area based product designer focused on turning complex problems into simple human-centered solutions. As a designer, I am always trying to bridge the gap between technology, business and user needs.

	•	Flow Diagrams & Storyboards
	•	Cross-functional Communication
	•	User Research and Synthesizing Data
	•	Design Systems
	•	Branding + Identity
	•	Rapid Prototyping & Mockups
	•	Illustration & Sketching

Some of the tools I use:

	•	Adobe CC Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, Adobe XD, etc)
	•	Figma
	•	Sketch
	•	Invision
	•	Balsamiq
