I am a product designer with a passion for bringing unconventional ideas to life. I enjoy working with early-stage startups and building innovative products from scratch.

Previously a product designer @Trusty, a real estate payment facilitation software startup.

πŸŽ’ From my first psychology class to product design

From the very moment I stepped into my first psychology class in high school, I was intrigued by the intricacies of human behavior and the underlying factors that drive our decisions. As I pursued my studies in college, my curiosity expanded into the realms of marketing and advertising, where I witnessed the power of design in forging profound connections with people.

It was during those formative years that a love for design took hold of me. I realized that it possessed the ability to transcend words and engage individuals on an emotional level. However, I yearned for something more, an opportunity to channel my passion and skills towards making a tangible impact on the world.

After graduating, I embarked on a quest to find the perfect combination of my interests in psychology, design, and problem-solving. It was during this soul-searching journey that I discovered product design.

πŸ’¨ ️I know all about the hustle!

Prior to my journey into product design, I was a creative in a startup-focused advertising agency. Collaborating with ambitious entrepreneurs, I witnessed firsthand the electrifying energy and boundless possibilities that startups embody. This experience opened my eyes to the potential of the startup world.

My transition into product design led me to my first role at Trusty, a startup where I served as the sole designer. While initially intimidating, I quickly grew to appreciate the rapid iterative process that defines the startup environment. It was here that I discovered the joy of shaping not only the product's design but also the very process and culture within the company.
