> Senior Visual Designer & Creative Project Manager at Aletha Health

Location: San Francisco, California, United States
Profile: https://flows.cv/lusa

I design with heart, intention, and a dash of curiosity—turning ideas into thoughtful, impactful experiences. For me, creativity is about connecting with people and telling stories, whether through bold collaboration or beautifully simple design.
When I’m not designing, you’ll find me making collages, printing zines, curating playlists, meditating, or camping. Always curious, always creating.
