UX/UI & Visual Designer
about.
Born and raised in San Diego, I have always been driven by connecting with people. Upon completion of my bachelor's degree in Psychology at the University of Southern California, I became increasingly interested in how people interact with the world around them, specifically the rapidly growing field of technology. In the junction of psychology and tech, I found the wonderful field of design and completed degrees in both Design and Advanced Web & Interaction design. My design philosophy focuses on creating unique, simple, and clear solutions that are, above all, purposeful.
