about Me

I am a 25 year old UX designer with a growing focus on interaction design. I craft accessible, intuitive, and meaningful digital experiences, driven by a belief that technology should support people, not frustrate them.

Since earning my degree in Computer Graphics and Technology from IUPUI in 2022 (with a minor in Spanish), I’ve been designing digital products at SEP. I work cross-functionally to turn ambiguity into clarity, designing interfaces that feel effortless to use and grounded in research.

Thoughtful. People-first. Systems-minded

Lately, I’ve been especially drawn to the psychology behind user behavior, diving deeper into Human-Computer Interaction and the nuances of perception, attention, and memory. I’m also passionate about leveraging AI to streamline design workflows and craft responsible, user-aware AI interactions.

THE ESSENCE OF MY PRACTICE

I believe design is more than aesthetics. It is problem-solving. From shaping interfaces that feel effortless to exploring the psychology behind how we interact with technology, every detail is intentional.
