About

Hey! I’m Maggie. I’m a product designer based in Los Angeles with a love for simplifying complexity. I believe that design, both digital and physical, is ultimately about people, and I embrace the challenges of crafting meaningful, user-centric experiences to simplify people’s lives.

My love for designing started when I was 10, on Neopets - back then I was learning HTML and CSS from Lissa Explains It All and building div and table based layouts. I studied Cognitive Science and City & Regional Planning at UC Berkeley, where I got to explore the intersection of psychology, behavior, and how people think and make decisions.

Since then I’ve worked at a few early stage startups: Chrome River (acquired by Emburse), on expense reporting and invoicing software. At Appetize (acquired by SpotOn), I unified various SAAS point-of-sale software into one configurable software. Currently, I work at Carvana, where I lead AI exploration efforts on the product design team and build design tools that empower the design team.

When I’m not staring at the screen you’ll probably find me trying out a fitness studio, singing off-key karaoke, or checking out some live music.
