Work Experience
Designing for IoT features on the Meraki Mobile App. Brought efficient and lean design value to the team, which resulted in successful handoff of sweeping new features in under 60 days.
From summer intern to principal designer, I led a sweeping rebrand initiative; leveraged Figma, Adobe InDesign and Adobe Illustrator to ship new web, brand, and marketing assets for widespread external and internal use.
Transformed SVI’s image into a dynamic and capable technology consulting firm, driving up customer engagement and client deals. Received unanimous positive feedback from senior designers, PMs, engineers, and company leaders; was promoted after the summer.
Drove the website and portal design for Climate Donor, a non-profit platform publicizing climate change and species mitigation projects.
Helped build and maintain the design system. Created user flows and site architecture diagrams. Translated design team and client feedback into robust interactive prototypes in Figma.
Partnered with the Queer Arts Center to help improve tech literacy for the East Bay black-trans community. The project received a donation of over 20 laptops from Slack.
Spearheaded graphic design curriculum development. Held workshops and office hours for QAC members interested in entrepreneurship and self-branding.
Volunteering
A(n) advocate, mentor, and communicator for my club of 30+ members. In action, my responsibilities included facilitating club-wide workshops, overseeing the schedule, and planning the end-of-semester showcase.
