As a design enthusiast and UX/UI designer pursuing an MS in Information Systems at Northeastern University, I bring over 4 years of freelancing and design experience. I focus on empathy-driven, accessible, user-centered experiences and turning ideas into simple, effective websites and apps. My recent work includes redesigning climate-action landing pages at CrowdDoing, developing reusable design systems, and leading marketing-outreach design for Northeastern initiatives.
