Born and raised in Honolulu, I've lived coast to coast—Seattle and now Brooklyn, where I live with my cat, Frederick Winston. Currently, I'm a Software Engineer at Remitly, focused on building features that help people worldwide send money to their loved ones.
My love for art and design began as soon as I could hold a pencil. As a software engineer, I bring a sharp eye and obsessive attention to detail to crafting interfaces that are both visually striking and thoughtfully engineered. Art has always been at the core of who I am, and it's what drives my passion for building beautiful, meaningful digital experiences.
