I'm a visual communication designer who spent 9 years as a hairstylist before making the leap into design. That background taught me something invaluable: how to listen to what people need and translate it into creative solutions that work. It's the same skill set I bring to design—just applied differently.

I graduated from SF State in 2024 with a B.S. in Visual Communication Design, focusing on brand systems, UI/UX design, and visual storytelling. My work centers on developing brand guidelines, design toolkits, and assets that maintain consistency across touchpoints—whether that's social media, advertising, digital interfaces, or physical installations.

Recently, I was selected as a top 20 finalist out of 500+ submissions in BRIDGEGOOD's Inspire Oakland design challenge, where I developed a comprehensive brand system celebrating Oakland's diversity and resilience.

I've also developed projects like NAVI, a mobile app I created as my capstone project, backed by primary research with 41 survey participants and usability testing with 9 users.

What excites me most is finding that intersection between creative expression and practical problem-solving. I'm drawn to work where strong visual identity meets real user needs—building brands that resonate or designing interfaces that actually serve their purpose.

I approach every project with a collaborative spirit, attention to detail, and a focus on the people who'll interact with the work. If you're looking for a designer who listens well and executes with care, I'd love to connect.
