HI, I’M PEARL!

When I was a kid, I’d watch my dad paint; every brushstroke meticulous, every detail considered.

That early exposure to craft and process shaped how I approach product design today: with thoughtfulness, a sharp eye for detail, and a drive for turning complex problems into clear, creative solutions through continuous experimentation.

Outside of work, I spend time illustrating, making music, writing, hiking, or hanging out with my cat, Mabel.

Previously

3+ years of experience in global communications design at Cisco.


Co-founder and creative director of basement27, a graphic design agency launched during my bachelor’s


Creative marketing internships at Autodesk, VSC, and Ogilvy.
