about

Resume

I have always loved arts & crafts ever since a young age, this creative side of me has guided me throughout my time as a coder and as a designer.

Whenever I was a part of a group project in college, I would always volunteer to lead the front end development since I felt that was where my creative side can be unleashed while also bringing to life my group's design.

My main goal as a UX designer is to create technical designs that can be achieved through code that embodies both the user's needs and the main goals of the product while also including a personal artistic touch.

I am excited to embark on this new career journey and I can not wait to bring you all along with me!!
