A little about me…

I am a native Miamian with a lifelong interest in art, photography, and design. My college major studies focused on human and social development, as observing and deciphering behaviors is also of interest to me. A minor in communication studies, and additional coursework in fine art (painting and sculpture) and photography gave me further opportunity to explore my interests.

My background in behavioral and communication studies, learning and development, and project management, eventually led to my earning a UX/UI Design certificate from UCF. I specialize in creating user-centered, accessible, and aesthetically pleasing designs and am excited to combine my knowledge of human behavior with design to craft meaningful user experiences.

During my tenure in the non-profit sector, I honed important project management skills (managing stakeholder expectations and conflicting scope demands; establishing and adhering to achievable timelines) and created comprehensive design deliverables utilizing research and data insights to ensure those deliverables met client requirements.

My Design Philosophy

I strive to create designs that invoke emotions in the user and a feeling of pride in the client.  People invest 100% of themselves into their businesses and it is my goal to help them conceptualize and present their brands so that they stand out.  With the use of color theory, user-centered design thinking, and collaboration, I hope to help those brands reflect the energy and emotion of the people behind them.
