My Journey

About Me

I am a UX/UI Designer with a passion for understanding people's stories and motivations. Currently, I am looking for a diverse and enthusiastic team to solve problems with!

I have a background in Research and Psychology and have held many supportive roles, but decided to shift directions when I felt something was missing. I've always been one to ask others, "how can I help create a more enjoyable experience?" and "what is your story and why is this important to you?" Transitioning into UX design seemed like a natural fit to continue to scale this level of curiosity, empathy, and problem solving.

When I am not designing, I enjoy writing, hiking, traveling, and creating positive experiences (especially through the looking glass of a lupus survivor).
