In my previous life, I worked in finance, as an analyst in real estate investments and regulatory compliance before making the jump into the startup world—first at a sipping broth company, then into tech. Since then, I’ve grown into a product designer, working with startups like Tallyx, Youlify, and Novata across industries like blockchain, sustainability, and healthcare. I’m drawn to the energy of startups, where design moves fast, and you can see the product truly evolve based on user needs.
Even though I didn’t start out as a designer, I choose to stay in design because I love how it combines the two fields of visual details and problem-solving; it’s aesthetically pleasing but also practical. As for UX design, I resonate with it; once you throw out your own biases as a designer and trust the UX process, you open up the doors to new insights and new solutions.
When I’m not designing, you’ll always find me under the sun, hiking, camping, meditating or just sunbathing. I’m always searching for new experiences, having staring contests with my dogs (yes, it does strengthen the bond with your pet) or cruising on my motorcycle (her name’s Sierra). I enjoy listening to other people’s passions and their journeys and am most attracted if it’s an unconventional way of doing things.
