I focus on iterating designs for both Startups and Corporations, relentlessly iterating and enhancing them to meet business goals and user needs. My journey so far.....

My journey in digital design began in my youth, sparked by a life-changing experience. I played soccer my entire life and my career was threatened at the age of 17 when I experienced serious heart issues. However a well-designed app helped me diagnose the condition, which was then fixed later on with surgery. This moment was more than just personal; it illuminated the transformative power of design in impacting lives. Ever since I have been in pursuit to create amazing user experiences through my designs.

I hold a Bachelor's degree in Business Administration in marketing with minors in Graphic Design and Website Communication/Design from Drury University, and a soon-to-be-completed Master's in Human-Computer Interaction from DePaul University.

My professional experience began in  in marketing and business. These experiences aren't just a part of my past; it actively informs my design process, allowing me to create solutions that are not only aesthetically pleasing but also strategically aligned with business objectives.

My portfolio is a testament to this blend, showcasing projects for startups, small businesses, and large corporations. I'm currently at Razorfish, a leader in digital innovation, I apply this integrated perspective to enhance user experiences.
