My grandmother showed affection by cutting me fruit.

I show care by designing tools that feel just as intentional.

Recently, I’ve been designing the visual identity for Socratica, the post experience at Linkedin, and VR systems at Roblox. I was born in 2004, & the first dedicated design hire at Kino AI (YC ‘23), Runpod (AI Grant ‘22), & Momento (Neo ‘21).

I spent my summer spent sprinting on the post creation flow: improving polls, scheduling, and drafts in LinkedIn. Our improved design has shipped (thank you Qianru & Brandon!), so she will reach your device over the next few quarters. Projected to impact 220m users once shipped.

I think of my designs like platters of fruit: carefully cut & arranged, made with love, meant to be shared.

i grew up nestled between books and sketches, reading fantasy about perilous mountains, enchanted onions, & talking monkeys. after a childhood spent painstakingly capturing the way light weaves through material on paint-- the way i perceive hardware & software feels inevitably more luminous & whimsy.

 

design taught me how to observe: the lichens in forests, moss-colored cardigans, grotesque fonts. i love dearly & most of what i do starts with a question i don’t know how to answer yet.

why i made this site

my grandma had a knife, i have Figma ;)

 

i built this site intending for it to be an internet corner: both warm & unpretentious—a quiet space to share the many things i’ve made over the years (if ur seeing this you’ve probably used one of my designs before;), and to reflect the way i approach design: with care, clarity, and impact. i hold a soft spot for the beautiful and the delightful.

 

i'm currently seeking Winter 2025 / Summer 2026 internships, and then, a full-time home. searching for a team that cares about nuance and joy as much as i does. i’m most drawn to congee with century egg, and to collaborative work where craft really matters.

your friend,
