About

I’m a UX/UI Designer skilled in creating intuitive digital experiences and developing websites and apps. I graduated from the University of Wisconsin–Madison with a degree in Graphic Design and a minor in Computer Science, which gave me a unique foundation at the intersection of design and technology. Driven by a love for building and problem-solving, I combine visual design expertise with front-end development skills to craft products that are both functional and engaging. My passion for technology continues to push me to grow as a designer and developer, shaping the work I create today.
