Hi! I’m Irene,
I’m a 2x career switcher: from fine artist and youth arts educator, to graphic designer and marketer, to UX/UI designer. I blend strong visual design skills with a keen analytical eye, a curious mind, and an empathetic heart.
I have a passion for learning and teaching, and I love finding out why things work the way they do and improving them. Although I enjoy creating pixel-perfect and brand-faithful visuals, finding ways to build something better is my jam.

See Dribbble for a taste of my visual design chops.
Here’s what The People have to say:
“Working with Irene is an absolute pleasure! The value of her awesome attitude is matched only by the undisputable talent she brings to her work. She has an exceptional aptitude for thinking through user pain points and developing inspired solutions to address them methodically. Each element of her designs is based on extremely clear and well thought out rationale, always relating her design decisions back to some insight about the user experience.”
“Irene impressed me with her outstanding visual design, UX writing, and general problem-solving skills. Her visual designs definitely elevated the project – but in a way that was still very much collaborative. Irene is able to effectively communicate her design decisions, while remaining open to feedback, demonstrating her willingness to adapt and evolve her designs to meet the team's (and the business’) needs. Irene's creativity, thoughtfulness, and generosity make her an invaluable asset.”
“For 3 straight months, I learned more from her every day than she learned from me. Irene has such profound knowledge, understanding and dexterous application of design principles, and yet always seeks to learn more.”
“Irene is a brilliant, sharp-minded individual with a fantastic uplifting energy. Irene always provides insightful advice and ideas, regardless of the subject matter. She is quick on the draw and can sketch up examples to support anybody's concepts in a skilled, yet swift manner.”
