With a career as an executive in Talent and People Operations, I am also a creative, maker, and scientist at heart. Baking is the perfect hobby that allows me to balance my love for precision and experimentation with my artistic muscle--hence Design 350, which is an opportunity to share my passion for artful baking with you via my website and blog.

While I love to dabble in cakes and other pastry experiments, my go-to treats are decorated sugar cookies and macarons. I also make seasonal jams from the fruits in my backyard, as well as at the local farmers' markets. My jams are not only given as gifts, but are oftentimes found in my macarons.

I live in the San Francisco Bay Area where I spend much of my time dreaming up new flavor combinations and works of edible art while sitting in traffic.
