About Me

I'm a product designer, art director, and hippie-at-heart from Southern California. I have a passion for creating modern and elegant user-centered designs that are equally intuitive and usable. I believe in standing at the intersection of form and function.

I started my career as a graphic designer, and my skills quickly evolved into a solid foundation of multidisciplinary design skills that range from UX/UI design, app design, user research, wireframing, prototyping, art direction, print, retail and environmental design, and photography.
‍
In 2017, I partnered with illustrator and designer David Escobar in founding Kaand Creative Co. A bite-sized creative agency that works closely with brands on a variety of fun and innovative projects.

When not working, you'll find me at the boxing gym or at flea markets and estate sales, looking for my next Antiques Roadshow find. My dream is to have a long-winded vintage poster chat with Nicholas D. Lowry in my funkiest outfit *sigh* someday...
