Design never crossed my mind until my second year of college when I took a design fundamentals course. I signed up for the course because I wanted to get better at making memes for my brother and friends. During that semester, I realized design was what I enjoyed the most, and something I discovered on my own without others pushing me down a certain path (STEM). I found my gift for making people feel included.At work, this materializes as the key supporter to rely on for cross-disciplinary teams, users, and stakeholders. I love getting to show my friends what I had been working on, make them laugh, and communicate the best way I could to the people close to me.

Previously a UX Engineer, I found a sweet spot for designing and building out websites for relatives, local businesses, and internships. Eventually I took the leap after graduation to dedicate myself to the product and design side of things and have been soaking up everything I can find along the way. :)
