About

About

Hiya! I'm Mandy, a Product Designer based in San Francisco #yayarea. I graduated from UC San Diego with a B.S. in Cognitive Science, Interaction Design.

Through product design, I enjoy creating beautiful and helpful products for people at scale. I've had the privilege of working on brand activations for Fortune 500 companies, HCI research at The Design Lab, and SoFi's Credit Card experience (my current job).


On the side, I doodle stickers as @littlemandyart. Fun fact: I've drawn more than 250 cute animals.

Feel free to say hi over email.
