Hi, I’m Kiki!

My path to design has been anything but straightforward, and honestly, I wouldn’t have it any other way.

Before stepping into the world of design, I spent over a decade in the service industry, learning how to anticipate needs, adapt quickly, and solve problems. Eventually, I realized I wanted more, but I didn’t know what. 

So, I hit pause and took the scenic route. I spent a year abroad, trading work for food & lodging, and learned how to navigate uncertainty with curiosity and calm. Along the way, I discovered that problem-solving was where my passion lies.

At the age of 28, I returned to school to earn my Bachelor of Science in Product Design at the University of Minnesota. It has been the most challenging and rewarding decision I’ve made. Today, I get to combine my love of people, creativity, and strategic thinking to design products and experiences that make life a little better and hopefully, a little more fun.
