Designer with 8 years of professional experience and a degree in computer science from Stanford University, known for optimizing cross-team workflows, evolving product strategy and high-stakes projects that drive business growth and user satisfaction.

Some of my recent achievements at Hello Alpha include spearheading the design of a patient portal and a clinician EMR that led to a partnership with Amazon Clinic, architecting a design system and crafting the company's digital brand, leading organization-wide workshops that improved the agile product development process and increased sprint velocity by over 50%, designing a pitch deck for a $25M Series-B fundraise, building a 10-person UX and product team, and co-leading a product training series that accelerated onboarding of new hires.

Today, my core interests are in atomic design systems, agile UX and equitable career growth on my team.
I thrive in underdog scenarios where calculated risk-taking and experimentation are encouraged and practiced. My goal is to cultivate spaces for process-driven product design and to make critical contributions that push the field forward.
