Meet Mandy

Hi there! I'm Mandy, a product designer based in the Bay Area. I'm currently a Product Designer at SoFi and recently graduated from UC San Diego with a B.S. in Cognitive Science.


With an illustration background, I quickly found passion in product design for its creative and impactful nature. Over the last two years, I've expanded my perspective through experiential design at an agency, HCI research, and product design for fintech. I've also gained valuable hands-on experience from growing my small sticker business, @littlemandyart.


I look for design cultures that constantly raise the bar for their users. As a designer, I strive to bring visual design craft and product thinking to teams.


In my free time, I enjoy playing tennis and pickleball, cafe hopping, and catching live music.
