Hi, I’m Raina.
I connect engineering logic with human stories to make complex experiences feel clear, useful, and a little more personal.

Based in Seattle
Curiosity is where I start.
My path brings together human-centered data science at the University of Toronto and UX design experience at Amazon. I’m interested in the space between how a system works and how it feels to the person using it.
Across enterprise software, healthcare interfaces, and emerging AI experiences, I explore how design can help people understand what is happening, make decisions, and move forward with confidence.
Understand the problem. Make the next step clearer.
Start with people
I look for the needs, workarounds, and everyday friction behind a request. Understanding the context helps me ask better questions before choosing a solution.
Connect the details
I think about the whole journey as well as the individual screen: information, interactions, and the small decisions that make a system feel consistent.
Make it tangible
I use prototypes to turn possibilities into something we can discuss and refine. Building helps me notice where an idea needs more care.
Where design meets code.
I’m exploring AI-assisted development as a way to bring interaction ideas to life. This studio is part of that exploration—a place to experiment with spatial navigation, material, light, and the balance between personality and usability.
The playful details invite exploration; the work itself still needs to be easy to find and read.
Fun facts about me.
A few snapshots from life outside the pixels.
Thanks for stopping by.
This portfolio brings together the problems I’ve worked on and the things that keep me curious. Take a look around—I hope you find a little of both.
