I'm a Seattle-born creative whose work is deeply influenced by the city's vibrant arts and design community. I studied Interaction Design at the Cornish College of the Arts, where I learned to push the boundaries of my creativity and collaborate within diverse and inclusive teams. Those years taught me that meaningful design grows from curiosity, experimentation, and shared perspectives.

 

After two years at Cornish, I transferred to Western Governors University, where I am currently working towards my Bachelor's degree in User Experience Design. WGU has given me the opportunity to study both UX and the business strategies that support it. I'm driven by the belief that great experiences are created when creativity, empathy, and practicality come together. 

 

Alongside my design journey, I currently work in veterinary medicine, an environment that has strengthened my sense of empathy and my ability to remain calm in high-stress situations. Veterinary medicine has done a lot to shape the way I approach design, especially the way I approach users: with patience, care, and a genuine desire to understand their needs.

 

Oh! And when I'm not designing or covered in pet hair at work, you can almost always find me with a matcha latte in hand, my unofficial fuel for creativity.
