From spark to screen – designs that deliver

Hello!

Check out my projects or contact me to see how I may be of service to you. Or, keep scrolling to learn a little bit about me.

Born and raised near the Bay Area of California, I developed a strong interest in technology and coding. It all started during my senior year of high school in a trigonometry class where we were creating shapes with code as a fun project. With my already existing interest in art and creativity, I wanted to choose a career path that included both technology and visual design. This is where my journey of Communication Design began.

Formed from my keen eye for design and clean layouts, my strongest interests lie in user interface design and stationery design. In my spare time, I enjoy writing literature and making greeting cards.

As an alumni of Cal State University, Monterey Bay, I earned a Computer Science minor and Communication Design B.S., focusing on web and visual design. My work experience started at a law firm in Salinas, CA during my first year of college in 2017, starting as a file clerk before the promotion to legal assistant and IT support. This role strengthened my innate passion for organization and detail-orientation. My career path led me into graphic design and production in July 2023 at a bulk photography company in Fremont, CA. In April 2025, I was blessed with entering motherhood following the birth of my son. It was in October 2025 to become a stay-at-home mom while freelancing graphic and web design as opportunities present themselves.

Current Works in Progress

Design doesn’t end at launch— great work lives, evolves, and delivers over time. Here you will find what is actively in motion and trusted website(s) I am stewarding on an as-needed basis. These ongoing partnerships involve everything from performance optimizations and UX refinements to content refreshes and strategic updates—ensuring the screens keep delivering long after the initial build. It’s the messy, rewarding middle where ideas prove themselves. Peek in, follow along, or reach out if something catches your eye.
