Design & Me


Why design?

I am very passionate about making things easy to use for people. My grandmother was an instrumental part of my childhood and as time passed, seeing her get older and no longer be able to use products easily was really baffling to me. Even as a kid I thought, “Why’d they design it this way?”

I wanted to make those designs better. The people that interact with them deserve better.

With my background in art and developing interest in accessibility, I wanted to make those designs better. The people that interact with them deserve better.

What excites me

I am driven by a passion for solving problems and the urge to create effortless experiences. When all the cogs fall into place I feel a great sense of satisfaction. I love it! And I love working towards that.

Me, when everything falls into place. Ahh~

How I work

When looking at a problem I tend to take a realist approach; I gather all the information about it first, then see what could work and what solutions are most plausible. I ask questions, and I like hearing different ideas because no one person can think of them all.

I work well with other creative people that have big ideas because while they generate other ideas I’m already putting them into an Impact v. Effort matrix in my head, sorting to find which one hits the sweet spot best.
