About Me
I am a visual artist and designer who developed my UX skills working in website development and interactive design. A collaborative designer, I love working up new ideas on a whiteboard or FigJam file with my team, but I also enjoy sitting quietly running simulations in my mind. I’m a champion for the user, constantly seeking their motivations and learning their frustrations when researching and keeping their work front and center in my design solutions.
