I'M A SPEAKER AND MENTOR.

I LOVE TALKING ABOUT CX, INCLUSIVE DESIGN & STRATEGY, AND AAPI EXPERIENCES.

With a decade of experience working in the advertising industry, I help open doors for marginalized communities through talks and speaking engagements.

A bit about me

 

Over the past decade, I've built strategies people love by CONNECTING THE DOTS WITH EVIDANCE-BASED DECISIONS, leading to an inspiring vision and roadmap. With a background in brand strategy, CX (consumer experience), and visual design,

I translate human behaviors by finding clarity in chaos and distilling it down to communicate effectively with the teams I collaborate with. From ideation to execution, I have worked across various industries (B2B and B2C), both in-house and in agencies as a consultant for clients.
