Profile

I see myself as a kind, thoughtful creative who wants to create experiences that bring joy and excitement to the end user. I have strong qualities in organization and in being resourceful.

I have worked as a digital designer in the non-profit sector, and my background includes five years of UX/UI design education. Collaborative environments are my jam, though I also have a good amount of perseverance and patience to work independently.

Whether it’s understanding requirements, creating wireframes or managing workshop discussions, I would want to help further design decisions.
