Creative and strategic. Academically, I come from a BS in Accounting and Finance. Professionally, I’ve helped grow sales teams, build revenue engines, and partner with companies of all sizes. Personally, I’ve found my greatest fulfillment in designing, creating, traveling, and taking meaningful risks.

Today, I’m someone who dug deep, left everything familiar, and moved full-time to Asia to study UX/UI design and develop myself both personally and professionally.

I committed to becoming a designer with a “by any means necessary” mindset—and in doing so, I learned to embrace challenges, uncertainty, and growth.

I bring that same drive into every team I join. There’s no challenge I can’t help a growing team navigate, and no mountain too steep to design a path through. I don’t see limits or barriers—only problems waiting for creative solutions. Goals get met. Vision becomes reality. And the path forward is always thoughtfully, intentionally designed.

Employee No. 1
"The Designer"

I’ve always been a creative at heart.
As a kid, I excelled in art—my room was filled with sketchpads, half-finished drawings, and ideas in progress. I was even offered a spot in Advanced Placement Art in high school… which I turned down for band. (Sigh.)

I chose the “safe” route instead. I studied accounting—and during my very first internship, I had a clear realization: absolutely not. I found myself surrounded by middle-aged men openly admitting that the work was draining, soul-sucking, and uninspiring. I knew immediately that path wasn’t for me.

So I pivoted into sales—and I thrived. I loved the energy, the storytelling, the human connection. Besides, I’m a Gemini—communication is basically my universe-given superpower.

But creativity has a way of finding its way back.

I started a retail brand. I picked up a camera. I began telling stories visually. I became obsessed with tools, systems, and how people interact with products. And before I knew it, all of those paths converged.

That’s how I found UX design.

It gave me the perfect intersection of creativity, problem-solving, storytelling, and human-centered thinking—and this time, it felt right.
