"Building something small is admirable, but building something poor is inexcusable."

About

I’m a UX designer who’s passionate about solving problems through research, wireframing, and prototyping. I thrive on simplifying complex systems to create seamless user interactions, and I take pride in crafting cohesive brand guidelines that support meaningful product experiences.

Currently, I freelance with a variety of product teams, helping them design user-centered solutions that are both functional and enjoyable. Outside of work, I love drawing and camping with my dog—it’s how I recharge and stay inspired.

My path into UX wasn’t traditional. Like many, my college journey was interrupted by the pandemic. But that pause led me to something better: I enrolled in the Springboard UX Design Career Track, a rigorous bootcamp that deepened my skills in user research, wireframing, prototyping, usability testing, and the entire UX design process. I completed the program in March 2024, and I’m proud to now carry that certification as a symbol of my growth and dedication to this field.

While I still plan to return to school in the future, I’m confident in the experience, insight, and creativity I bring to every project today.
