I graduated in May 2017 with an MFA in Interactive Media from the University of Miami and now I live in Seattle, WA. I am passionate about developing experiences that are intuitive and make technology more accessible to everyone.
I carefully craft cohesive styles with proper affordances.
IxD
I love to build prototypes to test ideas and use as a tool to communicate ideas to clients and other team members.
IA
Running card sorts to organize content on websites is one of my favorite things to do.
Research
Whether it's usability testing, focus groups, or another method, I love having the opportunity to talk to users and learn from them.
