Craigslist Missed Connections

Browsing Craigslist’s “Missed Connections” section is one of my favorite past times. “Missed Connections” is a section on Craigslist for individuals to post personal ads looking for someone they were too shy or otherwise unable to connect with in person. Essentially, it's akin to the classic newspaper personal ads, but online. These posts range from encounters like the intriguing person on the subway with prolonged eye contact, the friendly neighborhood shop keeper, or the attractive concert-goer whom you glimpsed but never got a chance to converse with.

The missed connections section is one of my favorite outlets for online entertainment. It even sparked inspiration, leading me to illustrate posts that resonated with me. Although my motivation for this project fluctuates, I aspire to compile these illustrations into a quaint coffee table book someday.

User Experience Design

I’m currently a Senior Designer at Adobe where I work on the Drawing & Painting team. My main focus is designing exciting features for the iPad illustration app, Adobe Fresco, and the newly launched web drawing tool, Express drawing. Click here to view my professional portfolio.

In my prior role, I worked on creative collaboration and assets across the Creative Cloud. Here, I helped ship an internal beta of a v1.0 file management system.

Initially, I got my start at Adobe as a UX Designer/Developer intern on a v1.0 product team under the CTO. My responsibilities centered on spearheading an internal research study and the product redesign.

Prior to that, I worked at a local Seattle tech startup as a Lead UX Designer focusing on a mobile application for the food service industry.
