about.

hi, nice to meet you!

Self-driven, ambitious, compassionate — a designer curious about the ways people interact with the world and how I can help them along that journey.

👋 Hi! I'm Grace. I'm a UX designer passionate about inclusive design, using innovation to progress forward, and making users' experiences feel like second nature. I start designs with a set of constraints and guidelines, but often approach these with a healthy bit of wiggle room that allows for unique discoveries and ideas to bloom in the process.

Graduated from UC San Diego with a B.S. in Cognitive Science with a Specialization in Design & Interaction.

hobbies.

In my spare time, you can catch me teaching ballet classes, exploring different styles of dance, or immersed in fiction, whether it be reading, writing (I'm working on a novel!) or watching films/shows. I also enjoy editing videos, practicing calligraphy & brush lettering, experimenting with fashion, and playing the violin.
