Bio

Based in Eden Prairie, MN, I freelance at Golden Berry, mentor through ADPList, and contribute to civic design at Code for San Jose. I also organize and preset at inclusive events like like WCPP and Inclusive Product Week. Raised between the Peruvian Pacific coast and Andean valleys, I learned to love storytelling, hiking, the beach and the magic of whales—curiosity and creativity guiding me ever since.
