👋 Hiya! I'm a Product Designer with a background in Education and Digital Illustration. I am all about taking the best parts of teaching – empathy, understanding, and problem-solving – and infusing them into design.

I believe that learning is a lifelong journey, and my transition from teaching to product design is a testament to that. As an educator, I specialized in designing meaningful, project-based learning experiences that engaged and empowered students. Now, as a product designer, I apply those same skills to creating intuitive and impactful digital experiences. My teaching background honed my ability to understand diverse needs, ask the right questions, and adapt quickly—all of which drive my user-centered approach. Whether in the classroom or the digital space, my goal remains the same: to design experiences that leave a lasting, positive impact.

I dedicated two years to working in education in New York City, teaching in a vibrant and diverse community that brought together a wide range of cultures and languages. While I deeply valued my work with students—particularly the moments when we bridged cultural differences and built connections through storytelling and shared learning—I realized I wanted to create a broader impact beyond the classroom. This led me to ask: How can I combine my passion for helping others, my empathy-driven approach, and my strengths in planning and creativity to design meaningful solutions in the ever-evolving digital space?

As a designer, I draw heavily on my education background to approach challenges with curiosity, empathy, and a commitment to continuous improvement. I love exploring human psychology and behavior, incorporating these insights into my problem-solving process to create thoughtful and impactful user experiences. My teaching experience honed my ability to be feedback-driven and iterative—skills I now apply to design, where I actively seek, give, and implement critical feedback to refine my work. In both the classroom and design teams, I have contributed to fostering trust, respect, and open communication. Today, I bring my passion and skills to organizations that prioritize inclusive design, diversity, and equity, aiming to make a meaningful impact in the digital space. ✨
