About Me
I’m a User Experience graduate student at Arizona State University with a background in Psychology. I became a published researcher from my time working in a Cognition, Language, and Culture Lab during my undergrad. My transition into UX is rooted in a deep curiosity about how people think, feel, and interact with technology.
Through research-driven design, I aim to craft accessible, intuitive experiences for users.
Beyond design, I find inspiration in video games, fiber art, and nature photography.
