About

Currently pursuing a Master's degree in Human-Computer Interaction at Indiana University–Purdue University Indianapolis, I am a UX designer with a passion for creating inclusive and innovative solutions. I have a year of hands-on experience in UX design at Hummingbird Web Solutions, where I created website templates, conducted UX/UI audits, improved user experience, and designed graphic elements for various projects, using tools such as Figma, Adobe Photoshop, and Google Analytics. Additionally, I have a background in product design, having worked at Find Flames, a gaming company, where I reviewed the market landscape, designed wireframes and high-fidelity screens, created interactive game interfaces, and collaborated with engineers to develop the end product. My skills include prototyping, graphic design, data-driven design, user-centered design, and sustainability. I am eager to apply my skills and learn new ones in a summer internship opportunity, where I can contribute to impactful and meaningful design projects.
