Curious, creative problem solver focused on the intersection of psychology and design.
I never thought that I would change my career, but after spending a long time working with teenagers and young adults as a mentor and counselor, I decided to take a leap of faith and pursue my passion for design.
My experience working with individuals who are often overlooked by society has given me a unique perspective and a deep understanding of psychology, which I bring to my approach to design challenges. Over the past few years, I have immersed myself in learning about UX/UI design and accessibility, and I have found a new sense of purpose and excitement in creating. I am excited to continue growing in this career and learning more every day.
Core software usage: Figma, Adobe XD, Adobe CC (Illustrator & PS)
Learning.
I love figuring out new things and currently, when not focused on design, spend time learning React and building mechanical keyboards.

Gaming.
I really enjoy connecting with people all over the world through gaming, day one raiding, and hard end-game content.
Currently playing: Destiny 2 (over 3.9k hours 😅), The Finasls, and Baldur's Gate 3.
Rescue Dogs.
I have three rescue dogs: Da Vinci (18), Toby (16), and Oliver (11). I love them more than I like most people.

Music.
9 times out of 10 I will have music going on in the background. I like vibing out to some good lo-fi/jazzy tunes or rocking out to some metal/rock.
