I have over a decade of experience as a UI/UX Designer and Multimedia Specialist. I am passionate about creating innovative and influential products that leverage advanced technology and services. Helping companies empathize with their users is the key to unlocking impactful solutions that can change people's lives.

Through my freelance work, I have helped develop and grow design systems that ensure a consistent design language across components, styles, features, and products. This includes developing and managing responsive websites, apps, screen designs, and social media for businesses. Additionally, I guide companies through the entire design thinking process, which includes interviewing customers, defining and ideating on problems, and prototyping and testing solutions.

I enjoy expressing myself through various forms of art and exploring nature through outdoor activities such as running, rock climbing, and backpacking. As a UI/UX Designer, Multimedia Specialist, and Brand and Motion Design professional, I'm always open to new opportunities for growth and collaboration. Please feel free to email me if you would like to connect.
