About

Hello,

I'm Emi

/eh · me/

I'm a product designer who thrives on all things ambigious and gnarly. With a strong focus on craft, storytelling, and high exploration output, I enjoy diving into the details, solving problems thoughtfully, and bringing order to chaos.

Day job

Currently, I am a Product Designer at Chart-ER. Before that, I conducted user research at Paramount for their Noggin learning app. I also gained experience designing for health apps a little before that, and overall have experience with owning a product and designing it from end-to-end. I earned my Bachelor's Degree in Human Computer Interaction from UC San Diego, along with a Minor in Computer Science.

Out of office

When I'm not building things, I love traveling, cooking, painting, and capturing moments through photography. I'm a natural puzzler with a passion for trivia and crosswords—maybe even to a concerning degree! If I've piqued your interest, feel free to reach out!

My super powers

Structure in ambiguity

I have a knack for adding clarity and structure to ambiguous problems and environments. I love making complex situations easier for others to navigate.

Storytelling

I love taking complicated concepts and crafting easy to understand narratives through animations and visuals on slide decks.

Design 🤝 development

Since I earned a Minor in Computer Science, I understand software systems and limitations. I can also get in the trenches with my devs. This means anything from fixing small bugs in production to code reviews in Github.
