A little about me

I'm Summer, a product designer who believes the best design work happens when you truly understand the people you're designing for.

Whether I'm conducting research to uncover what users are actually trying to accomplish or redesigning a platform based on deep user insights, I lead with curiosity and strategic thinking. I've learned that the most impactful design solutions come from understanding the "why" before jumping to the "what."

My journey started with hands-on execution at early-stage startups, where I learned to move fast, adapt to changing requirements, and deliver measurable outcomes. Those experiences building features from the ground up gave me a foundation in craft and process that still shapes how I work today. Now, I'm focused on the bigger picture: leading research initiatives, influencing product strategy, and designing systems that scale.

I'm drawn to problems that require both analytical thinking and creative problem-solving; the kind where success means understanding user behavior, business goals, and technical constraints all at once.
