Hello! I am an aspiring archaeologist and UI/UX designer who loves exploring ancient civilizations and bringing their stories to life through modern interfaces. I gravitate toward hands-on fieldwork, material culture, and the creative process of turning research into user-friendly designs. I enjoy working in teams on design studio projects, combining research with prototyping and testing to deliver thoughtful, accessible solutions. I’m excited to expand my skills in archaeology, UX, and digital design to tell compelling stories about the past.
