Experience
2015 — Now
Los Altos, California, United States
I help startups, small businesses, and mission-driven teams bring their ideas to life through thoughtful branding, intuitive user interfaces, and purpose-driven digital experiences. As a multidisciplinary designer, I lead projects from discovery through launch—combining UX research, visual storytelling, and prototyping to create designs that are not only beautiful but also effective. My work spans web applications, marketing sites, product UI, and creative direction for brand identities.
Clients value my ability to listen deeply, translate vision into visual language, and work collaboratively across disciplines. Whether I’m designing in Figma, building in Squarespace, or photographing products for a launch, I bring strategy, empathy, and creativity to every detail.

At Instart Logic(Acquired by Akamai) as the sole designer, I led the end-to-end design of Instart Logic’s core product and brand identity from the ground up. I partnered closely with the VP of Marketing to design and launch the company’s first web application—translating complex cloud technologies into a user-friendly, enterprise interface. I also created high-fidelity UI mockups, interactive prototypes, and investor-facing marketing materials. My work directly supported the company’s early growth and was instrumental in raising multiple rounds of venture capital. Instart Logic was acquired by Akamai.

At Social Shield(Acquired by Avira), I was part of a small, fast-paced team where I led the visual and UX design of the company’s parental monitoring platform. I collaborated with engineers and product managers to create user flows, wireframes, and high-fidelity UI for both web and mobile applications. My work focused on translating complex behavioral data into clear, actionable insights for parents, prioritizing usability and emotional impact. I also helped establish the early brand identity and design standards, contributing to marketing assets and investor presentations that supported business growth and outreach.

At Remilon (now part of Study.com), I contributed to large-scale web redesign projects for DegreeDirectory.org and Education-Portal.com. In this front-end web design and development role, I worked with high-fidelity UI designs and translated them into responsive, accessible interfaces using HTML, CSS, jQuery, JSP, and JSTL. I collaborated with cross-functional teams to implement user-centered design solutions that improved site usability and supported content-driven user journeys. My work helped modernize and streamline the platforms, enhancing both visual appeal and performance.
