I'm Sierra — I create and tell stories through design.
My path to design began with 12 years of creative problem-solving competitions that taught me to think quickly, craft compelling narratives, and present solutions under pressure. These skills led me to product design, where I became fascinated by how thoughtful design decisions can make someone's daily life easier. I'm passionate about combining empathy with data-driven insights to create digital experiences that address people's real needs.
