my design journey

then

I have always been intrigued by UX Design, but I was scared to start over or lacked the confidence to pursue it.

Throughout my life, looking for my passion has always been something unsolved. I have unintentionally embarked on a journey of 4 different careers with 10+ years in people-focused roles, and nothing has ever felt "right."

Two things remained constant throughout these various career changes: my love for people and my fascination with UX.

now

After years of fear, I’ve finally built the courage to pursue UX Design and am incredibly proud for taking the leap!

My non-traditional background allows me to leverage many skills and my biggest strengths, such as communication and empathy, which enable me to advocate for users and achieve a deeper understanding.

The most thoughtful gift I've received to start my new career. I could not have done it without my loved ones and their encouragement.

my personal values

01

choose kindness

lead with your heart to share and connect around goodness, humility, and curiosity.

02

empathize to support others

give generously to uplift our communities as we celebrate all walks of life and grow together.

03

less is more

be purposeful in what you add and take away, emphasizing clarity and the most important things.

04

and smile

simple, yet powerful.
