About

Born and raised in Hawaii, I have been calling San Francisco home for the last 10 years. I began my career doing traditional print design and branding strategy for several retail companies around the Bay Area. Helping local companies like Tea Collection and Ruby Press build and reinforce their new identities.

In 2005, I decided to refocus my career and began specializing in web design and started contracting at NASA Ames Research Center. I gained considerable experience designing and implementing various open source solutions and web applications, including the NASA Ames’ official public blog. I have now fully accepted my unique skills as both a web designer and a front-end developer and now cleverly call myself a desveloper.

I hold a B.F.A. in Graphic Design from the University of San Francisco and  the wonderful California College of the Arts. Since early 2007, I’ve been working at Hot Studio consulting with clients such as Cisco, eBay, and Omidyar Network.
