You are much more likely to remember an immersive experience.

 

As a kid, I was fascinated by the teamwork that goes into making a single animation cell in a Walt Disney film: the story, sketches, hand-painting on cellophane, teams working on different characters, backgrounds/foregrounds, taking still photos, and combining hundreds of those photos into a universal motion film that many can enjoy. 

 

In my career, I have been fortunate to design revolutionary end-to-end products at global companies—in an equally immersive process—resulting in beautifully crafted experiences for consumers everywhere (including those behind the scenes).

​

Currently, I'm a Staff Product Designer at TikTok Shop, helping bridge the gap for a global market and helping define the shopping experience for U.S. Shoppers. 

​

I am passionate about building more robust, more inclusive communities. In my spare time, I mentor emerging designers from minorities and work on humanitarian and animal welfare projects. On the weekends, I flip through interior design and lifestyle magazines, park-hop in the great Pacific Northwest with my partner and dog, and try to get 1% better every day.
