About me
I’m a product designer currently working at an early-stage startup, designing a wildfire risk analysis platform. Though I started out as a graphic designer on a global marketing team, I realized I wanted to shift into product design after making a PowerPoint template that was praised as the most useful the team had ever received. I loved the feeling of making something that made people’s work easier, and I’ve been excited to keep building thoughtful, impactful tools ever since.
