Other work
Alongside my role at Yahoo I've consulted for startups on brand, research, interaction design and design systems. I enjoyed solving problems for different industries, different business models, and with none of Yahoo's resources behind me.
Here are some of the companies I’ve collaborated with:
A mobile app that scans spaces and converts them into architectural drawings. I worked on enhancing the scanning process and optimizing the payment and subscription experience.
An AI startup focused on personal human assistants with a high EQ language model. I contributed to their early brand exploration and pitch decks. They are now part of NVIDIA inception program.
A healthcare company where I contributed to the animation of kiosks, the design of their website, the development of their app, and email templates for clients communications.
About me
I am lucky enough to call Maui home. When I'm not working, I love spending time in the ocean. There's something about being in nature that helps me feel grounded. I also enjoy challenging myself and picking up new skills, which is why I tend to seek new ideas and try new tools early at work.
