Hello, I'm Emma!

core values
I am a UI/UX Designer based in San Diego, CA but proudly raised in Lihue, Hawai'i. I have a background in recruiting, specializing in program coordination and data management. My transition into UX was motivated by my curiosity and desire to make a positive impact on everyday experiences. Driven by my core values, I believe that ALL users should reap the benefits of tech and that no human should be left behind when designing for our future.
In my previous roles, I took initiative in analyzing management information systems used internally on a daily basis to simplify business processes and maximize team productivity. This background gives me a unique perspective on UX design. Although I will invariably advocate for the user in my design work, I have also been sharpened to maintain view of business goals and problem solve when working with necessary business limitations. I find joy in utilizing my analytical skills and simplistic design eye to create minimalistic and empathetic designs that boost user satisfaction.
