👋 Hi! I'm a User Experience Designer who is passionate about creating user-centered, accessible experiences. With practice in user research, interaction design, design systems, and partnering with AI, I look forward to collaborating with a team to build lasting solutions.
Most recently, I have been exploring the intersection of AI and design, learning how AI can enhance the design research process and improve user experiences. In addition to experimenting with AI tools, I have also been researching how to design for AI-driven applications with the mindset on learning how I can ensure machine learning systems are transparent, user-friendly and beneficial for all types of users.
I have also completed an accredited digital accessibility certification, which has deepened my commitment to designing products that are inclusive and accessible to all users. I have conducted accessibility audits, made strategic recommendations, and worked closely with cross-functional teams to ensure that our products meet and exceed industry standards.
When I am not designing, I really enjoy spending time outside to work on my landscaping and doing DIY work on my house. I find that these activities give me a break from staring at a screen and allow me to extend my creativity.

I am always excited to learn, explore new challenges, and collaborate with teams that value innovation, inclusivity, and empathy. Feel free to reach out, I would love to connect.
Empathy
There is a person behind any product or digital service. Because of this, I believe in the need of empathy and understanding. I advocate that the most innovative solutions come from a deep discovery of people.
Collaboration and Diversity
Design is a team effort. It requires a diverse set of minds and backgrounds to come up with innovative and meaningful products. I want to learn to take risks by pushing and being pushed by others.
Growth and Improvement
I acknowledge that failure is inevitable, and that it is crucial to succeed. Our final product will only be perfect if it has been tested, stretched, and pushed in multitude directions.
Messy Process
The process to the final solution was not meant to be linear and clear. It was meant to be iterative and messy. It is only after you learn this that you will start to see more clearly.
