Hello! I'm Alyssa.

I am a UX Designer based in San Francisco with a background in writing, illustration, and communication design. 

Coming from a design role at a toy startup, I am inspired by the way kids light up when they interact with something new and fun. I strive to make things that inspire a similar sense of wonder in people of all ages.  After three years as a creative generalist designing with user psychology and business metrics in mind, I am primed to create interactions that are not only beautiful, but measurably functional. UX design is my perfectly interdisciplinary sweet spot.

When I'm not at my desk, I'm exploring all of San Francisco's quirky wonders. I love thrift shopping for vintage treasures, painting, and reading with my senior kitty on my lap.

I am endlessly experimenting with new ways to create.
