A designer who listens...

I’m an MFA UX Design student at SCAD with a background in architecture and a deep passion for human-centered design. My journey began in spatial design, where I learned to shape environments with empathy and purpose. Today, I bring that same mindset to digital spaces, crafting intuitive interfaces and thoughtful user journeys. I believe the best digital experiences are built on deep empathy and genuine curiosity.

 

My work lives at the intersection of human psychology, visual storytelling, and systems thinking. With roots in both design and research, I approach each project as a conversation, not a transaction. I ask questions, challenge assumptions, and design with intention. Every project is an opportunity to create something that matters.

Apart from design...

Outside of design, I’m passionate about overall fitness, whether it’s gym workouts, yoga, or dance. Movement keeps me balanced and sparks creativity in unexpected ways. I also love to learn every day, exploring new skills, ideas, and perspectives. This curiosity shows up in my design process as well, I see every challenge as an opportunity to grow and try something new.

I believe design is at its best when it is human-centered, inclusive, and empathetic. My approach balances simplicity with depth, stripping away the unnecessary while preserving meaning. Whether in physical or digital spaces, I strive to design experiences that feel natural, intuitive, and purposeful.

Design Philosophy

My process is rooted in curiosity and iteration. I begin with research to uncover real user needs, synthesize insights into opportunities, conceptualize and ideate, and prototype rapidly to test and refine ideas. I thrive at the intersection of strategy and storytelling.

What drives me is the desire to make design meaningful. I see design not only as problem-solving but as a way to connect people, simplify the complex, and create moments of delight. I believe that the best design is seamless, you don’t notice it, because it works so efficiently and intuitively that it feels natural.
