Sabrina is an artist, designer, and eternal learner.
In the middle of applying to medical school, I realized that I am happiest when I am designing and solving problems through creative mediums. While I will always view medicine as an incredibly meaningful career, I became sure that the best way for me to create impact was by driving systems-level change rather than becoming an individual physician.
I withdrew my application and became a designer at SimplePractice, where I crafted delightful experiences for health and wellness professionals.
In the future, I aim to continue crafting human-centered solutions and doing what I love most—bringing more joy and human connection into the world through design.

Why I Design
As a creative by nature and a scientist by nurture, I aim to explore the intersection of design, technology, and innovation to:
-
We’ve all waited way too long at the DMV, struggled to find a therapist, or wondered why the I Bond website looks like it’s from the 90s. Clearly, technology does not distribute equally across all facets of our world — but design can bridge the gap.
-
Doctors want to spend time with patients, not paperwork. Small business owners want to serve customers, not deal with payment processes. Design thinking is key to creating solutions that take care of these daily challenges so that people can spend more time doing what they love.
-
I believe that beauty is not a nice-to-have, but a crucial part of life. It inspires hope, alleviates pain, and reminds us of our shared humanity. Thus, I believe that design should not just be functional, but spark joy, often in the most subtle but remarkable ways.
Things I Love
While I’m not designing, I love:
learning new things (currently: running, 3D modeling, weightlifting, rollerskating)
exploring terrains, IRL + in open-world games
writing zesty food reviews (I'm a Yelp Elite!)
practicing mindfulness and gratitude
