ABOUT ME

As a former graphic designer and digital media producer, my background has taught me the importance of empathizing and paying attention to detail can massively improve user experiences. Self-taught UX/UI Designer, I strive to keep learning from users to develop usable and aesthetically pleasing designs. When I am not on the computer, you can find me exploring the great outdoors, filming cinematic videos, and walking my dog, Molly.
