Hi! You’ve found my lil’ corner of the internet.
I design interfaces and experiences for humans. As a product designer, I love asking ‘what if?’ and bringing fuzzy ideas to life.
Most recently, I led design at Sonar Mental Health, a Stanford grown seed stage startup, where I wore all the hats as the sole designer — from software, graphic, and conversation design to integrating AI into workflows.
Away from design, I’ve been:
- hoarding ebooks like they’re going extinct
- checking my investment apps like they're social media
- missing basic pickle ball shots
- in search of the perfect bolognese
- dangerously invested in korean dramas
- shaking like jello through lagree classes
it’s me :)

Sonar Mental Health

designs shipped for web, iOS, and internal platforms
Sonar is a mental health platform that connects students aged 12 to 21 with trained wellbeing coaches. I led design from initial concept to validation to rollout, scaling the platform to serve 8K+ users across student and organizational partnerships.
My unique position as the initial wellbeing coach during concept validation — and later training our first 4 wellbeing coaches — allowed me to gain firsthand insights into student and coach needs, pain points, and conversation patterns. These insights revealed the central design challenge: how might we maintain quality, personalized mental health support while scaling to serve thousands of students?
A few of the solutions I shipped:
Enabled wellbeing coaches to efficiently manage 200+ daily interactions by designing a ticket prioritization system for Sonar’s internal platform, reducing support response times from ~10min to ~2.5min.

Integrated AI to surface personalized response suggestions based on student history, preferences, and proven intervention patterns, while ensuring human review of every message to keep coaches firmly in the loop.
READ MORE (coming soon)
Transitioned from SMS messaging to launch Sonar’s iOS app for the fall 2025 semester, facilitating deeper coach-student relationships through mixed media sharing.

RxPx (Curatio)
Jan ‘23 - Sept ‘23
RxPx is a global SaaS platform for patients, caregivers, and healthcare practitioners. I contributed to the mobile app design for patients taking medications to manage complex conditions including severe eosinophilic asthma, cancer, multiple sclerosis, and sickle cell disease.
Design initiatives I worked on:
- Medication and side effect tracking that increased completion by 76% in user testing
- Patient community management flow for moderators, enabling effective oversight tools that help build safe and supportive online spaces
- Comprehensive health reports that patients can generate and export based on their app data, empowering them to share meaningful insights with healthcare providers
- Collaborated with legal and marketing teams to design screens meeting PAAB regulatory standards without compromising usability
- Design system refactoring to support rapid feature development
Due to NDA and pharmaceutical compliance requirements, detailed work flows from RxPx cannot be shared publicly.
