About
I'm a UX Designer
with a passion for simple solutions.
I design and optimize digital experiences that are intuitive, accessible, and data-driven. With a B.S. in Human-Centered Design and Development, ongoing M.A. studies in UX Design, and hands-on experience in usability testing, prototyping, and front-end development, I bridge the gap between user needs and business goals.
Skilled in Figma, HTML/CSS, JavaScript, WordPress, Sitefinity, and UX research methods including usability testing, card sorting, tree testing, and heuristic evaluation. My work has enhanced engagement, improved accessibility, and delivered measurable results for mobile apps and websites in agile, cross-functional teams.
