I’m a multidisciplinary designer based in Hawaiʻi.

For over a decade, I've worked in hospitality while building a self-taught creative practice in illustration, surface design, and product creation.

Hospitality deeply shaped how I think. Anticipating needs, reading the room, and adapting in real time while keeping people at the core of an experience comes naturally to me and I bring that mindset into every project. When I was encouraged to pursue UX design, it didn’t feel like a pivot; it felt like putting language to work I was already doing. I went on to earn a UX certification through Design Lab, where my service-industry instincts translated seamlessly into user-centered design.

Today, I design both digital and physical products, with a particular love for mobile experiences, systems thinking, and workflows that make people’s jobs easier. Restaurant technology is my dream niche, where I hope to leverage firsthand industry experience to better support teams. I thrive anywhere curiosity, growth, and user advocacy are valued.

Alongside UX, illustration and surface design remain lifelong creative anchors. My style is character-driven, colorful, and humor-forward, well suited for fabric, stationery, storybooks, puzzles, and lifestyle products. I maintain a growing library of ready-to-license designs, welcome collaborations, and am a twice-published illustrator.

Everything I’ve built has been shaped by real-world experience, persistence, and an insatiable curiosity to learn.
