A designer and artist at heart ☀️

A designer and artist at heart. In my work, I strive to empathize first and create journeys not just about the destination, but the conversations made along the way. Two years in UI/UX, currently designing at DigitalNest.

Exploring HCI master's programs

What's My Story?

I graduated from UC Davis in 2024 with a Bachelor of Arts in Design and Cinema & Digital Media. Currently exploring Master programs in HCI! I had the opportunity to explore a wide range of design disciplines, from graphic design to interaction design and developed a deep empathy for the user experience that launched my career as a UI/UX designer.

At DigitalNest, I take client work from research through to shipped front-end — brand standards, information architecture, high-fidelity design, and everything in between.

My Philosophy

Great design is invisible. Every pixel should serve a purpose, and every solution should be rooted in empathy.

Outside of Design

I love exploring different mediums and finding new ways to stay creative. Recently I've been really into collecting pokemon, getting familiar with Gel-X, and building Rolife!
