I'm a Product Designer from Seattle, and I just graduated from the University of Washington with a degree in HCI


I am currently learning how to incorporate AI tools into my workflow, using MCP to connect Figma with platforms like Claude and Cursor to create quick prototypes.


At the end of the day, my goal is to ship experiences that make people's lives easier. Let's connect and make that happen!

I am…

a Product Designer based in Seattle and a recent HCI grad from the University of Washington. Lately, I’ve been obsessed with bridging the gap between design and development by bringing AI into my daily workflow. I’ve been using MCP to link Figma with tools like Claude and Cursor, which has been a total game-changer for building quick, functional prototypes!

Why design?

My fascination with art began as a child when my grandmother and mother gave me a paintbrush. While I initially planned to study visual design at UW, my introductory courses sparked a realization: I wanted my work to extend beyond just aesthetics and make a tangible, positive impact on people's lives.

Side Quests

In college, I hated sitting still in my apartment, I always wanted to do something. So I continued a few side hustles from highschool and picked up some new ones.


I’ve always had a passion for music, and last year I decided to pursue it by learning how to DJ. I’ve been mixing all kinds of music, but House and EDM are my favorites.


I'm also a photographer, I love to go out on adventures and trips, photographing the journey every step of the way. I just bought a fujifilmx100v and I love it!
