What drew you to design systems?

I've always been drawn to the intersection between design and engineering, and enjoy being able to use the creative and logical problem-solving parts of my brain at the same time. I'm also passionate about inclusive design, and am excited to have a hand in supporting such an important initiative.

Who have you learned from or been inspired by?

Too many to name them all here, but I'm especially grateful to "The Annas" for believing in me very early in my tech career, and serving as role models who enabled me to envision myself succeeding in the tech space. Also, huge thanks to Taylor, Hali, and Saad for their continued support and camaraderie as I've navigated various career transitions and growth as an engineer.
