Creativity has always been at the core of who I am. As a teenager, I was the person with a camera in hand, sketching ideas, designing clothes for my little sister, and experimenting with every creative tool I could find. I was always curious about technology and design, and I knew I wanted a life where I could build meaningful experiences. Life moved quickly though. I stepped into adulthood early, helped raise my siblings, and had to move straight into work.

I built my early career in hospitality and real estate so I could build stability. What I did not expect was how deeply I would fall in love with the human side of that work. I listened. I problem solved. I led teams. I supported people in moments of stress, transition, and daily life. Those years sharpened my empathy, strengthened my leadership, and rooted me in what I still believe today. People deserve experiences that feel thoughtful, supportive, and clear.

Over time, design began to pull me back. I started freelancing, taking on creative work, building websites, organizing content, photographing products, and helping businesses tell their stories. I returned to school for Interaction Design, earned an internship, and fully transitioned into UX. It felt natural. It felt like home. It brought together creativity, technology, empathy, strategy, and leadership into one place where I could truly make an impact.

Today, I design and lead user experience work across large-scale digital products. I partner closely with product and engineering teams. I solve complex problems with clarity and care. I build experiences that are intuitive, scalable, and grounded in real human needs. I have worked across startups, e-commerce platforms, and enterprise systems, and I am proud of the impact my work has had on both users and businesses.

At my core, I am still that curious, creative teenager who wanted to design something meaningful. Now I simply have the experience, leadership, and perspective to do it at scale.
