Hello, I’m Emily! 👋  I'm a designer based in the Bay Area. With a background in HCI, I am fascinated by understanding the processes of how people learn and retain knowledge. I’m currently looking to grow my expertise in management roles. In my spare time, I love painting, cooking and going on hikes! Feel free to reach out if you’d like to! I’m always happy to chat about design.
