My passion for design grew out of working on the user interface of ERPNext, an open-source business application. After working at Frappé for 5 years, I decided to pursue a master's in Human-Computer Interaction Design.

After grad school, I worked as a Sr. Design Technologist at Plenty, an indoor farming startup in South San Francisco. There, I designed and developed specialized interfaces for understanding, analyzing, planning, and operating a hydroponic farm. (And, I get to eat some of the most delicious produce in the world!)

Currently, I am a Design Technology Lead at Block (Square), where I lead cross-functional projects to build design systems, expressive web experiences, and web platform infrastructure.

For leisure, I read books, go to museums, and walk around to marvel at the beautiful undulating landscapes of San Francisco.

I am always on the lookout for creative collaboration opportunities, especially those at the intersection of design, accessibility, software, AI, and hardware.
