Let's get in touch!

Hallo~ I am Ruby!

I am a product designer based in New York City, originally from the Bay Area, California. I graduated from NYU Stern School of Business with a major in Marketing and Management and a minor in Digital Art & Design.

My career began at IBM Consulting Field Marketing, where I managed various projects, built my team's internal webpage, and became the go-to person for creating visually compelling slides. Along the way, I discovered my passion for product design.

I've since built skills in Figma, Adobe Creative Suite, and design thinking. Most of all, I want to create designs that make people say "That just makes sense."

In my free time, I like to dance, doodle on my iPad, and explore NYC coffee shops!
