MY DESIGN JOURNEY
I didn’t always know I’d be a designer, but I’ve always been drawn to figuring things out—how they work, why they matter, and how they can be better. It was never about perfection; it was about people.
Over time, I realized how small design choices could shape experiences—making someone feel understood, frustrated, empowered, or forgotten. That realization sparked something in me, and I’ve been chasing it ever since.
Now, as a product designer, I blend UX, UI, and visual design to create products that feel personal, not just functional. I thrive on collaboration, asking “what if,” and keeping people at the heart of every decision.
I design because I care. And I care because I’ve seen what good design can do.
IF IM NOT DESIGNING…
-
Paddle boarding
Catch me on the lake chasing turtles, soaking up the sun, or swimming all over.
-
GOING TO SHOWS
Live music? Dancing? You will find me there, always on the search for good tunes.
-
TRAVELING
Traveling is the best form of learning, currently trying to reach 50 different countries visited.
-
READING
Reading is my form of meditation, getting lost in a book & taking a break from technology.
