Versatile Visual and Product Designer
With a Bachelor of Science in Informatics specializing in Human-Computer Interaction and a minor in Digital Arts from UC Irvine, I have developed a robust foundation in design and technology. As a Visual Designer, I freelance for diverse LA-based clients, focusing on QTPOC-owned spaces. Previously, I was a Product Designer at Fanhouse, where I led design initiatives for a creator monetization startup, impacting 1.8 million monthly active users. At UC Irvine, I served as Lead Product Designer for the INsite Lab, enhancing accessible technologies, and as Lead Visual Designer, where I significantly boosted user engagement. My experience as a UX Researcher included collaborating with Google to update Material Design imagery guidelines, influencing over 3,400 designers. My work spans logo design, branding, digital media, and user research, showcasing a versatile skill set in both creative and technical domains.
