About
Hi all! I’m a visual designer aspiring to go into product design by creating products to help everyday people and push the boundaries of innovation. I recently graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Graphic Communication with a focus in UX/UI Design at California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo. Having a foundation in UX design and collaboration, I am seeking new opportunities to improve my creative skills. I hope to imbue empathy into my designs and inspire others to seek their goals. I'm a calm yet spirited person who is always looking at the world to see what makes a good product and how it can be improved. I have experience working in lively environments to collaborate and brainstorm ideas. Feel free to chat with me!
