At Quizlet, I design study experiences for their learning journey to keep students engaged and guide them to the right tools. Some highlights:
‍
1. Leading redesigns of our core study tools that led to longer and more frequent studying.
‍
2. Pivoting a project into a new direction which drove more students into our premium study tools, which led to a $1.4M increase to subscription revenue.
‍
3. Contributed as a core member to our design system from a volunteer-led effort to a fully resourced team supporting both web and mobile platforms using tokenized styles and server driven UI.

I led design for 3 different ventures, with one venture becoming successful enough to spin out on its own. As a solo designer I was responsible for designing all artifacts from branding, marketing, and product.

At SAP, I worked on two primary projects.

First, I designed built-in product illustrations for enterprise applications that adapted to customers’ color schemes.

Second, I worked with the SAP Build team, a low-code platform for creating prototypes and fully functional apps, where I designed the in-product commenting system to support feedback and collaboration.

As a summer and fall intern, I worked with a small internal team named d.studio to support an iOS app, Bilt. Instead of manufacturers relying on paper instructions, Bilt had video instructions using exact 3D models of products you assemble yourself.

Souper Bowl started in 2019 as a friendly soup competition hosted in my 700-square-foot San Francisco apartment.

What began as a cozy soup battle has grown into an annual event with ~20 competitors, 200 hungry ticketed guests, and even a half time show performers. Along the way, it’s become a loving community of shared recipes and good vibes — all while donating proceeds to a nonprofit of our choice.

I volunteered with the Computer History Museum (CHM), creating motion graphics packages including lower thirds, intros, and outros for their video content. These assets were designed to be flexible and reusable, allowing their team to easily layer them over a wide range of historical footage. The work supported CHM’s mission to share the history of computing through polished, accessible digital storytelling.

Students from public high schools in the Bay Area can run the gamut of different socioeconomic backgrounds. Even with all the wealth moving around, many of these student would never know what designers do and how you can use it.

My former SJSU design professor, Julio Martinez, founded Design Spectrum to share the possibilities and principles of design with these students.

I volunteered on the San Francisco Design Week website redesign, where I helped bring the existing visual design system to life. I focused on aligning typography, color, and image treatments to create a cohesive, polished experience that’s still used today.
