I’m a passionate user experience designer with a strong belief in the power of human-centered design to effect positive change. My journey into UX design has been a tapestry woven from diverse experiences in digital marketing, graphic design, and customer service, art, travel and photography. All of which have honed my ability to empathize with users and deliver intuitive, impactful solutions.

EMPATHY is the ❤️ of user-centered DESIGN.

What sets me apart as a UX designer are my strengths in empathy and problem-solving. My background in customer service and project management has equipped me with a keen understanding of user behavior and a knack for creating solutions that prioritize user satisfaction. I thrive on challenges, leveraging my skills in wireframing, prototyping, visual communication and user testing to craft designs that are not only functional but also delightful to use.

My published light painting image where I traced my silhouette with red, white and blue light and then illuminated my face in the middle, revealing 7 silhouettes. This image was created using long exposure photography and was done in one exposure, taken straight out of camera with no edits.
“Inside Out”, published in Skyline CC’s, The Labyrinth magazine. The image was created with a long exposure technique called light painting in a single exposure, straight out of camera.

CREATIVITY and 👀 VISION unlock the imagination.

My love for photography, particularly light painting, has sharpened my eye for aesthetics and storytelling. My work has been featured in publications like Skyline CC’s, The Labyrinth, showcasing my ability to blend creativity with technical proficiency. I am also dedicated to personal growth, having completed Sadhguru’s Inner Engineering course, which has had a profoundly positive impact on my approach to life and work.

Language ✈️ LINKS us to HUMANITY.

Additionally, my passion for languages — I’m an intermediate speaker of Spanish and Brazilian Portuguese — fosters a global perspective that informs my design process, ensuring inclusivity and cultural sensitivity.

PRACTICE makes PERFECT….right🤷🏻‍♂️ ?

FUN FACTS about me: I am a self-taught acoustic guitar player, which provides a great creative challenge and outlet. I love traveling with my fiancé and have visited five different countries, embracing the diverse cultures and perspectives they offer. These experiences and hobbies enrich my life and continuously inspire my work as a designer.

IN a 🥜 NUTSHELL.

In essence, I am a designer who values empathy, creativity, and collaboration. My journey is driven by a desire to make a positive impact, and I am committed to designing inclusive, accessible, and visually appealing solutions that enhance the human experience. Let’s connect and create something amazing together!
