i'm Alina

i'm a product designer based between ☁️ Seattle's rainy cafes and ☀️ Orange County’s sunny corners, where I turn tech-heavy, messy, or just plain confusing experiences into something humans actually want to use.

I started out knee-deep in data, but fell in love with design as a form of translation: a way to connect hearts, minds, and interfaces.

Now I help teams bring clarity to complexity, especially in AI, B2B, and purpose-driven products.

Design Philosophy

I believe great design is invisible. It should feel natural, fluid, and effortless, just like breathing.

Outside the Pixel Grid

Snowboard instructor. Scuba diver. Clay sculptor. Piano dabbler. Cake baker. I’m someone who’s often scared, but rarely says no. Whether it’s diving into cold water or pivoting from data to design, I’m all about growth, grit, and giving things a shot.

Core values? Curiosity, integrity, and making tech feel more human.
