About

I am a Senior UX Designer and Researcher based in San Jose, and I am passionate about creating the best end-to-end experience for users. With 15+ years experience specializing in creating profoundly useable, desirable, and easy to use software, I excel at driving the UX efforts for multiple products to IPO. 

My strengths include design thinking, team leadership, and cross-functional collaboration across all levels of the organization. I thrive at filling in the design gaps when there are ill-defined and unknown requirements. 

When I am not driving innovation in my current projects, I'm revving up my passion for performance by overhauling engines and fine-tuning the power behind my fleet of five classic touring and show cars. Just as I optimize user experiences, I thrive on optimizing horsepower and precision, channeling creativity and expertise into every project I undertake, whether it is in the digital realm or under the hood.
