šŸ‘‹ I'm an end-to-end Product Designer at Intuit. At Intuit I help small business owners accomplish their accounting tasks on QuickBooks Online and sell smarter online through QuickBooks Commerce.

I have worked in the startup space for 5 years, in healthcare and transportation. I've designed across mobile and web platforms for B2C, B2B, and SaaS products.

I have a BFA in Art and Design from Cal Poly SLO and love diving into the data so that together we can build products that empower others. In my next role, I want to support my product team in determining a roadmap that meets our business and user goals. 

Before Intuit, I worked at Zum, where I designed tools for drivers to safely transport kids to-and-from school. Prior to that, I worked at Glooko where I designed healthcare tools that help patients and providers better manage diabetes together.

After my last team went through layoffs in late 2019, I solo traveled for 3-months through Japan, Indonesia, Australia, and Hawaii. Some of my highlights from my trip include swimming with Manta Rays, diving with Turtles, and hiking the volcano Mount Batur at sunrise. šŸ šŸ¬šŸŒ‹šŸµ šŸØ

I luckily came back right before lockdown due to the pandemic in 2020. I decided to quarantine in my hometown Santa Cruz, CA with family where I was freelancing, fostering dogs, and fundraising to support our local fire evacuees and houseless.

Iā€™m currently living in San Francisco, California. Hiking every trail we have, and eating delicious Mexican food. In my free time, I love cooking new plant-based recipes, petting every dog that walks by, and learning about marine life! šŸŒŠ
