I'm a UI/UX designer with a B.S. in Information Technology from George Mason University. I work across the full design process, from user research, wireframing, prototyping, and high-fidelity mockups, with Figma as my main tool. My work spans mobile apps, web platforms, and client-facing design audits. I care about designing for real people and specific communities. My projects include a solo-built mental wellness app, a usability audit and redesign for a local business, and a capstone with ADAMS Center where I worked directly with stakeholders to redesign their digital workflows. I'm comfortable working independently and communicating clearly with developers and non-technical stakeholders alike.
