Design With Intent.
I have a BFA in Communication Design with a focus in User Experience Design and I have worked in B2B, B2C, FinTech, eCommerce, InsureTech, and in the Aviation Industry. I enjoy simplifying complex systems and dissolving ambiguity with UX Design and research. I want to create meaningful designs that impact society in a positive way.

Tools
I am a very avid self-learner/teacher so I am constantly experimenting with new tools. I am experienced in the Adobe Suite, along with prototyping tools such as Figma, Sketch, Axure, Invision, and the low-code tool Bubble. My knowledge of research tools include things like miro, Optimal Workshop, and Userzoom. I am also a Luma certified practitioner.
My Interests
As an artist and designer my main desire is to learn new concepts and ideas. For this reason I experiment with a variety of mediums within my work, whether they're digital, 3D, or on canvas and paper.
