Iโm a UX designer and graduate of the User Experience Design Immersive at GA DC. My varied work experience in creative management, customer service, and even pastry arts helps give me a unique, detail-oriented, and holistic approach to design problems.
My love of design began in college, where I created graphics and layouts for a literature & arts magazine. While visual design plays a crucial role in enhancing user experience, I believe beautiful products are ones that have been thoroughly researched and tested by users every step of the way.
