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, and InsureTech. 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.

Reading Recommendations
These materials have shaped and changed the way that I view design, by making me conscious of the things that I design, I now think of the ways my creations could possibly impact our society and world.
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.
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.
