I first studied architecture because I loved art, problem-solving, and the idea that design could shape how people feel. But I realized what I cared about most wasn’t the structures, it was the people inside them.

Teaching came next and taught me empathy, patience, and how to make complex ideas simple. Those lessons now shape how I design.

UX felt like the right home for all of that, creativity, psychology, and purpose. Since then, I’ve worked as the only designer at two startups, one in gaming and another in sports tech, creating complete interfaces and collaborating closely with developers and artists.

My approach is simple: stay curious, stay kind. I care about accessibility, community, and design that makes people feel seen.
