About

A product designer with a passion for creating great products that solve real-life problems by putting equal emphasis on both aesthetics and functionality because I believe that the two are inseparable. While beauty is subjective, functionality is objective. I take holistic approaches to solving problems, seeking inspiration, and embodying an interdisciplinary philosophy to my craft. This approach led me to learn web development and prototyping, which now I use to bring my ideas to life and collaborate with the frontend team. Always excited about high impact, driven teams, and great culture. In my spare time, I enjoy creating music and experimenting & learning new tools. ‍ Currently, leading design at FlashPrep to enable students stress-free exam preparation, 0-1.
