About Me
As a Graphic Designer, I've decided to pursue a career in UX because I wanted to accomplish more than just creating visual content; I wanted to create designs that solve user problems and improve their experiences overall.
Prioritizing the needs and pain points of users through research and active listening is what makes UX interesting!
I have completed my Master's Degree in Human-Computer Interaction at DePaul University
