Experience designer, artist, business owner based in San Francisco
As a product designer,
She focuses on agentic tools that free up time. (Why? If everyone had the time to do what they prefer, society would be more fun.) She specializes in systems thinking and workshop facilitation. Her background in service design, psychology, education, and writing allows her to create holistic solutions with a sense of strategy, clarity, and compassion.
Her design practice focuses on visual mapping, developing designers, emphasizing care and hospitality in products and services, and empowering users by shipping tools that save time and energy.
She writes about design and creating systems-level change on Substack called Systems at Play (previously on Medium).
As an artist and business owner,
She runs YUNNY STUDIOS creating safe, immersive spaces focused on emotional wellness. Think exhibits, dinners, workshops, and products. Exploration and wonder in community allow people to process emotions with an open mind and heart. Food is somehow always a factor of how she likes to bring her guests comfort. She draws, paints, and cooks technically and scrappily, getting a kick out of making magic from the pantry.
As a writer, chef, and runner,
She is a perennial writer, synthesizing her stories and findings as she researches her burning questions. Her Substack YUNNY Notes (previously Medium, Wordpress, and Tumblr) spans creativity, psychology, business, and design.
She hosts dinners with her partner and friends to test new techniques and flavors. Pasta night, sando soirée, coffee gallery, pizza party, pho for Palentine’s Day.
She runs casually now (mostly to birdwatch). The longest distance she’s ever ran was 50K at the San Lorenzo ultramarathon in 2023, where she hallucinated and almost fell off a mountain, but managed to finish the 31 miles under 8 hours. She reached a milestone of 700+ miles that year.
