Hey there! My name is Samantha. I’m a product designer from Southern California. I enjoy diagnosing and creatively solving problems of all kinds. I’m always looking for opportunities to grow and challenge myself. I'm a self-proclaimed foodie, I love exploring new places, and I can't live without coffee.

I graduated from UC San Diego with a bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering. Previously, I have worked on engineering projects ranging from designing commercial aircraft parts, to creating a simulation for a children's hospital. I've enjoyed working in a variety of fields on innovative projects, and absorbing as much as I could from each experience.

As a product designer, I enjoy the process of continuing to better understand human needs, and positively impact people’s lives through creative design solutions. I love diving in and learning about each project I am involved in, and getting to continuously expand the way I see the world. I believe that every small detail of a project is important, as each systematically fits together to achieve a larger purpose. Above all, I believe that as a designer, the most effective and impactful solutions are created when compassion and empathy are the foundation.
