Born and raised in Los Angeles, where my passion for design took root early. My dad was a COBOL programmer who ran a computer shop out of our garage, and my mom was a photographer—so naturally, I ended up somewhere between code and creativity.

I studied product design in college and have been blending aesthetics with systems thinking ever since. Whether I’m mentoring new designers, contributing to open source, or geeking out over the latest web technologies, I love creating.
