Product Designer

Driven by a passion for artistry, I began my digital and visual design journey at an early age. I spent countless hours at the family computer mastering Adobe Suite and basic HTML for my Myspace, Imvu, and Tumblr profiles. After years of creating visual arts and exploring related careers, I pursued a path that resonated with my inner child.

While diving into User Experience Design, I discovered that my empathetic and creative nature could make a significant impact. I aim to inspire others with aesthetically pleasing and playful designs while addressing their pain points. Thereโ€™s nothing more frustrating than a beautiful design that isnโ€™t functional or user-friendly.

When I'm not at my computer, I might be ๐Ÿ“ธ taking photos, ๐ŸŒณ hiking, ๐Ÿ‹๐Ÿพโ€โ™€๏ธ working out, ๐ŸŽฎ gaming, ๐Ÿ“š reading, ๐Ÿ‘˜ studying fashion, ๐Ÿฆด trying new foods, โœˆ๏ธ traveling, and ๐Ÿ“Œ making Pinterest boards.
