Welcome to my corner of the webs

Hi, I’m Ryanne—a product designer based in Southern California. I studied computer science at the University of California Irvine, where I built my foundation in the tech space. My career as a designer began in the ever-evolving world of AI, designing products that harness artificial intelligence to complement digital solutions.

I have a boundless curiosity tempered by a love for structure. I see the physical world as a playground for intellectual exploration and the digital world as a canvas for storytelling—design being the bridge that connects them. Balancing these worlds satiates the duality of my own mind— the curious creative and the meticulous perfectionist.

As a designer, I lean into my natural ability to understand people— whether they’re users, teammates, stakeholders, or even myself. This empathy-driven approach puts users at the forefront of my design process, creating products that blend compassion with functionality.

My background in customer service and tech has shaped a design approach that's both user-centered and business-focused. I’m currently exploring new opportunities in AI to continue growing as a designer. If you’d like to connect, I'd love to hear from you!

Design, to me

reflects compassion

design at its core relies on the ability to be understanding. throughout my experience, i've come to perceive design as a means of honoring individuality. it allows our differences to be shown, for voices to be heard, and provides safe spaces for all.

is always improving

design often mimics the antics of real life. as humans, we work towards improving ourselves every day, in some way. our job as designers work in conjunction with this idea, it accommodates the dynamics of an ever-changing society.

betters society

i strive to be intentional in everything that i do, and design is another reflection of that sentiment. as a designer, my greatest aspiration is to combat real-life challenges and contribute to a world betterment.

thanks for stopping by!
