About

I am an industrial designer/creative based in Los Angeles. I find inspiration and a desire to create through creating connections with people around me. I seek to create empathetic solutions through playful experimentation, research, and embracing the chaos that comes with the ambiguity of the design process. In my free time I enjoy knitting, collecting stationary, and finding new music.

Guide is a set of tools for those looking to support and grow their online businesses. The rise of resale shopping is the result of Gen Z’s desire for entrepreneurship and wanting to be more conscious consumers. The new generation is driving the pre-loved trend, with 81% of 16–24 year olds stating that buying pre-owned has become more common in the past year. The resale of preloved items is expected to grow from $15 billion to $47 billion by 2025, overtaking traditional thrift and donation. The tools necessary to grow and expand your small business are not easy for everyone to obtain and can make starting to sell a bit daunting. Guide attempts to streamline the process, making this side hustle more accessible.
