About

A User Experience Engineer with a Master's in Human-Centered Design and over four years of combined experience designing and developing interfaces for product-based organizations. My robust blend of UX Design and UI Development skills ensures a holistic approach to creating effective user-centric solutions for digital interfaces. Outside work, I like to obsess over coffee brewing, explore local trails, and enjoy Formula 1 drama.
