About Me.

Hi, thanks for stopping by! My name is Tina and I’m a designer at UC Berkeley studying Cognitive Science, Data Science, and Art Practice.

I grew up as a traditional artist in Seattle, Washington, where I spent many years sketching, painting, and obsessing over colors and compositions. Today, I apply that same visual understanding to tangibly shape people’s interactions with products and services. Ultimately, whether it’s through fine arts or design, I utilize visuals to genuinely connect and empathize with my audience and user.

When I’m not designing, you can find me baking my favorite miso sesame rice crispies, or writing detailed reviews of my recent food/cafe discoveries!
