I'm a seasoned Senior UX/UI designer with over 7 years of experience, specializing in User-Centered Design and crafting design systems for scalable businesses. Fueled by a passion for clarity and innovation, I'm currently leveraging my expertise at Tillster Inc, where I concentrate on creating compelling digital food ordering experiences for consumers worldwide. My professional journey is a unique fusion of technology and design. Armed with a Computer Science degree from UCSD, my enthusiasm for problem-solving led me to transition into the realms of UX and HCI. I kickstarted my career as an associate UX designer at eSUB, earning recognition for enhancing product usability and earning user recommendations. As I progressed, I joined a dynamic 13-member design team at Solar Turbines, actively contributing to impactful global IT projects while mentoring fellow designers. Beyond my role at Tillster, I'm deeply involved in San Diego's design community, currently serving as the head of operations at SDXD. Organizing monthly meetups, I'm passionate about exploring cutting-edge UX design trends. Functioning as a full-stack product designer, I'm dedicated to shepherding projects from the research phase to seamless developer handoff. My commitment lies in building design systems that encompass visual style, UI components, and best practices across multiple products, ensuring business scalability with high quality and consistency. ## Work Experience ### Senior Product Designer @ Chemia Biosciences, Inc Jan 2025 – Present | San Francisco Bay Area Lead design for Chemia Bio’s AI-enabled genome mining and metabolomics platform, creating intuitive workflows and scalable design systems to accelerate novel small molecule drug discovery.
