I hold an undergraduate degree in Communication Design and studied Graphic Design at Parsons School of Design. I learned user experience and interaction design on the job at several fast-growing startups, often taking a product vision from 0-1.

Before starting my own studio, I was a design leader in health tech, implementing programs to scale organizations' quality of processes and output.

In 2021, a software as medical device I designed for heart disease detection was named one of the 100 Best Inventions in TIME magazine.

Outside of work, I enjoy swimming, painting, and being a lifelong learner of human behavior and the natural world around us.

I live in Saratoga, CA with my husband Vo, two small rescue dogs, and twin daughters Ana & Emme.
