As a self taught visual designer, I began experimenting with design tools and concepts early on. After graduating from UNT, I realized I thrive when finding inspiration, ideating, and iterating.

My background in education, science, and design allows me to question ideas with empathy and constantly adapt, research, and ideate to creatively solve whatever problem that may arise- I'm always willing to explore and experiment with unrelenting attention to detail. I focus on UX strategy and design as well as research. 

When I'm not designing, you can find me baking and decorating cakes, listening to audiobooks on long walks, and photography and art.
