About me

I’m a creative individual that is passionate about solving problems through design, empathy, and storytelling.

As a Principal Product Designer at Dell Technologies since 2018, I've had the privilege to contribute to a diverse range of programs and products, spanning from Alienware to the Dell Developer Portal.

Currently, my role is the lead designer for iDRAC. I am also the primary research consultant for several PowerEdge hardware programs.

My foundation in UI/UX was developed during my time at UT Austin as a graduate teaching and research assistant, where I received a Master's degree in Information Science.

While I am proud of my accomplishments, I'm most humbled by the opportunity to mentor and inspire the next generation of researchers and designers.
