I’m a Senior UX/UI Designer who’s passionate about turning complex problems into simple, thoughtful experiences. My background spans user research, interaction design, visual systems, and prototyping—always with a focus on making products intuitive and human.
I’ve been fortunate to collaborate with a wide range of teams, from Google to the Las Vegas Raiders, and the University of Oregon. Each project has given me new ways to apply design thinking, adapt to different industries, and keep the user at the center of the process.
I thrive in collaborative environments, working closely with product managers, engineers, and stakeholders to bring ideas to life. I see design as the intersection of empathy, strategy, and creativity, where thoughtful problem solving and purposeful craft come together to create experiences that are not only visually compelling but also meaningful and effective.
I help create user-centered designs for digital products, such as websites, mobile apps, and software interfaces.
I am accountable for spearheading the creative aspects of a company's products or services. I oversee the creative vision of a project or brand and guarantee a cohesive feeling.
I create the overall look and feel of a website, including its layout, typography, illustration, photography, and branding. I also build the IA and wireframing.

I create technical solutions to address consumer needs through digital mediums and devices.
I use various research methods and strategies to to gain valuable client insights, data and user stories and personas.
