I have lived in Harbin, LA, Shanghai, Providence, NYC, Oakland, Durham, and Seattle. My home is wherever my husband and our two cats are!

I love to read sci-fi novels, take improv classes, eat cookies, hike with friends, sew dresses, snowboard, recycle, be a sounding board for ideas, live consciously, and talk about feelings.

I’m a Senior Product Designer with a Growth focus, who can work end-to-end, from opportunity discovery all the way to polished UI. I come from a psychology background and have always had a strength in empathetic thinking.

In my traditional UX skillset, my strengths are user research and problem-solving through interaction design.

As a growth designer, working in startup environments has taught me to be an advocate not only for user needs but also for business needs. A business has to thrive in order for users to continue benefiting from it. I know how to use data — qualitative and quantitative — to identify if users are able to unlock value. I direct my design efforts towards these feedback loops in which, through offering a better user experience and helping users experience value at scale, a business can thrive and continue to serve users.
