About me ∘✧∘

Designing for the space where function meets feeling.

Creating has always been my way of navigating the chaos of the digital age. It started in middle school on my pink laptop hacking HTML for Tumblr themes, which sparked a never-ending curiosity that led me to Otis College of Art and Design.

While earning my BFA, I explored the tension between technology and art through my solo exhibition We Come in PPC. It was then I realized my true interest wasn't just in displaying art, but in understanding how people experience it. That shift pulled me into User Experience Design.

Now I blend artistic intuition with structured UX strategy. My experience spans fine art studio management, UX design, branding, community art, and education. My background in painting brings a distinct visual sensitivity to wireframes and prototypes, bridging the gap between creative and technical. To me, usability never needs to mean visually boring.

I’m always looking for opportunities to create work that people don’t just use, but genuinely enjoy interacting with. Feel free to explore my portfolio and reach out via email or LinkedIn.
