I became an attorney because I loved the idea of advocating for others, helping people through some of the toughest moments in their lives. But even then, I found myself looking for ways to blend structure with creativity. I remember wondering, was there a way to do that as a job?

Then I discovered product design. It felt like the perfect balance of logic and creativity: structure and imagination coming together.

Transitioning from law to design was one of the scariest (and best) decisions I’ve ever made. People often ask whether my legal background helps in my design work. It absolutely does. As an attorney, I learned to analyze complex systems, anticipate risk, and advocate for people’s needs — the same skills I now use as a product designer to align business goals with user clarity.

I still keep my bar license active — just in case anyone ever needs my help — but I’ve never looked back. I love designing systems that feel intuitive, effortless, and human.
