Hi, I’m Gigi, a Product & UX/UI Designer based in Orange County, California. I’m endlessly curious about how people interact with technology, and love building design systems and component libraries that help products scale and evolve with the people who use them!
I started my journey in community college, studying studio arts, figure drawing, oil painting, and color theory before discovering graphic design, the path that eventually led me into product design. Since then, I’ve focused on Product, UX, and UI in the Graphic Design program at CSU Long Beach and gained global perspectives through study abroad experiences that continue to shape my design thinking. I’ve since had the opportunity to work across education, agency healthcare, and automotive clients in both public and private sectors.
What drives me now (pun intended) is the future of automotive and mobility design, along with other industries shaping how we live, move, and work. My goal is to design products that people are genuinely excited to use!
Always excited to connect and chat 🍵 feel free to reach out!
