👋🏻 I’m Elaine, a product designer with deep interests in human behavior and design systems.

My biggest superpowers…

Taking complex workflows and processes to translate into visual representations that make users go, “whoa, that was easy! ✨”
Identifying patterns across the product. I have experience in building and coding product myself.
I brand myself as a very collaborative designer, able to juggle between different stakeholders.

I’d describe my designs as conversational, clean, and grounded in fundamental design principles. Animations and playful UI get me particularly excited.

I spent the last 2 years building experiences to help small business understand the complexities of payroll oh so effortlessly, while contributing to design systems.

Thanks for stopping by.

I do talks, sometimes

I do talks, workshops, and mentorship programs for designers wanting to know about UX design. On the left, I did a talk with Adobe. Followed by a UX workshop for a start up company, and finally—a UX Writing workshop for over 100 students.

Other times, I do things

Ever since we moved to San Francisco, I’ve started following the Warriors… other than making my perfect honey oat lattes in the morning. I occasionally do singing gigs, too. Fun fact—I auditioned for American Idol, twice!
