I'm a product designer based in Chicago, raised between two cultures and two languages — which gave me an early education in code switching, genuinely listening, and never assuming.

My career started in a classroom. I taught high school English before finding my way into design, and the pivot made more sense than it looked. Both ask the same thing: figure out what someone actually needs, then find the clearest way to give it to them.

Outside of work, I'm a film buff with a soft spot for simple, beautifully told stories. I follow motorsport obsessively, have strong opinions about cars, and catch as much soccer as life allows.
