A Bit About Me
Like most kids, I always loved to draw and color. I enjoyed being able to craft entire worlds on a page with just paper and pencil. From fantasy lands to futuristic societies, I could bring to life anything I could imagine and imbue it with whatever story I created in my head. As a young adult, I quickly recognized that designing is simply another mode for bringing these inner worlds to life.
After studying UX design principles in the classroom, I began to practice my skills through summer design internships and freelance projects for friends and family. Investigating a problem space through user research allows me to understand what type of world I need to create for my clients. Bringing their imagination to life adds a bit more uniqueness and magic to the world, and that is ultimately, my main mission with my career.
