About

Hi, I'm Tiffany.

I've painted and done graphic design for years, but I always struggled with one thing about art: it was made for its own sake, with no one to answer to but myself. There was no real decision behind most of what I made, just instinct. Product design gave me the thing I was missing. It's not only about how something looks. There's structure underneath it, and every choice needs a reason. I like that a lot more than I expected to.

I've always liked solving problems, not just in design but in how I think and communicate. Untangling a messy situation, finding the piece that makes everything else click. That's the part I actually enjoy most, whether it shows up in a Figma file or a conversation.

Outside of design, I love fashion. I've worked backstage at Milan Fashion Week, and I spend a lot of my free time thrifting and sourcing pieces.
