About Me

I’m a multidisciplinary designer from Illinois with a BFA in Graphic Design from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. During my undergraduate studies, I became increasingly interested in how people interact with design, which sparked a passion for UX and accessible technology and led me to pursue a master’s in Creative Technology and Design at the University of Colorado Boulder.

My interest for design started at an early age while growing up in a family-owned business, where I often created promotional materials and saw firsthand how thoughtful design can tell stories, solve problems, and build connections. Throughout my studies and professional experiences, I’ve explored branding, illustration, digital design, and UX design & research, all with the goal of crafting meaningful, user-focused experiences that connect creativity and technology.

When I’m not designing, I’m likely hiking, baking, crocheting amigurumi, shooting film, doing yoga, planning a trip, or diving into a new hobby (I’m a committed serial hobbyist).
