About
I got into design and technology through my passion for video games and esports. I was fascinated by the immersive worlds, interfaces, and the dynamics of competitive gaming, which sparked my interest in how systems and user experiences are built. This led me to learn HTML and CSS, creating small projects to better understand digital design.
My interest in gaming expanded into other creative outlets, like building custom mechanical keyboards and experimenting with graphic design. I started designing logos for friends and organizing interactive events, which deepened my appreciation for creativity and problem-solving. These experiences now shape how I approach user-centered, visually compelling design.

Although I originally pursued a degree in Consumer Behavior, I discovered that product design seamlessly combines my analytical mindset, creative passions, and love for technology. My background in understanding human behavior and decision-making has naturally translated into user research and design strategy, allowing me to explore what drives meaningful and impactful interactions.
Through working on various UX projects, I’ve found a deep satisfaction in the process of prototyping, gathering feedback, and iterating to refine solutions. This approach to problem-solving aligns perfectly with my systematic thinking, and design has become a way for me to merge both my artistic and technical skills, enabling me to craft thoughtful, user-centered solutions.

Now, as I pursue a Master of Science in Information Experience Design at Pratt Institute, I’m honing these skills further by diving deeper into system design and usability. This program has reinforced my passion for crafting experiences that resonate with people while solving real-world challenges.
Outside of academics and professional pursuits, I find balance in volleyball, weightlifting, and building mechanical keyboards, which keep me both physically active and creatively inspired. I also enjoy reading about design systems, human behavior, and self-improvement—interests that fuel my curiosity and contribute to my personal and professional growth.
