My journey into design hasn't been a straight line, but every step has been driven by a passion for creative problem-solving. It took some exploration to find my specific niche, but each experience helped shape my unique perspective on how people interact with the world.

I did not begin college knowing exactly where I wanted to end up, but I always knew I was drawn to creative, problem-solving work. I started in Marketing and later explored Interior Design, both of which showed me how much I enjoy thinking visually and designing with people in mind. In the summer of 2025, I discovered UX design, and it quickly felt like the direction I had been searching for: a field where creativity, research, and problem-solving come together to create meaningful, user-centered experiences.

As my interests became clearer, I shifted my focus toward design while continuing my degree in Marketing and adding Management Information Systems as a second major to better understand the technology and data-driven decisions behind digital products. Around this time, I also completed the Google UX Design Certificate, which helped me build a strong foundation in user research, interaction design, prototyping, and all things UX Design. This combination allows me to approach design from multiple perspectives, blending creativity, business strategy, and technical thinking.

Since then, I have focused on building my UX skills through the Google UX Design Certificate, personal projects, and independent research. While I am still early in my journey, I am committed to continuing to grow, gain real-world experience, and develop as a thoughtful, well-rounded designer.
