About

🌐 I enjoy working in complex environments to provide easy experiences for users. My work is always focused on providing a complete user experience that includes all touchpoints. I also aim to instill empathy and perspective through design, and I strive to create useful and meaningful experiences regardless of medium. My greatest desire is to create works that are socially valuable. 💭 I believe a product is good if it makes different types of people feel seen during their interactions with it. As a result, I am particularly interested in human psychology, inclusive and accessible design, and cross-functional collaboration within teams. 🎨 I dance, paint, sketch and design. Basically, I'm trying to enjoy my life creatively. When I'm not in front of a screen, you can find me chasing puppies, figuring out when to water my plants (still trying to get it right), reading fiction or watching fantasy/supernatural shows.
