A product designer who came to design the long way, through stages, cameras, and screenplays.
I'm a bilingual product designer based in San Diego. My background in acting, visual art, photography, and film shaped how I work today: understand people, find the structure underneath complexity, and make experiences feel clear.

I came to product design through storytelling.
I started acting in high school, where I learned that making someone feel something begins with understanding the person in front of you. That instinct stayed with me as I moved into visual art, photography, and eventually film, sharpening how I think about composition, sequence, and the details that make an experience feel intentional.
In college, I studied film with a focus on digital media production and screenwriting. Learning to structure a story taught me to think in journeys: what someone needs at each moment, how one decision leads to the next, and how individual pieces work together to create a larger experience. Those same questions now shape how I approach products, flows, and systems.
Outside of school, personal creative projects became another way to build my craft. I learned Photoshop and Illustrator by making, experimenting, and refining, developing the technical precision and attention to detail that pulled me toward digital design.
Then a YouTube video about UX showed me that the things I had been drawn to across acting, visual art, photography, and film could all live in one discipline. That realization sparked my curiosity, and I began exploring UX and product design on my own. What started as exploration quickly became a direction I wanted to pursue seriously, so I enrolled in a UX/UI design bootcamp to turn those instincts into a real practice.
Today, I approach my work by understanding people first, finding the structure underneath complexity, and designing experiences that feel clear, useful, and considered.

Whether it's a role, a project, or a good design problem, I'd love to hear from you. Or honestly, just to recommend me a movie. I keep a running list and I take it very seriously.
