Breaking it down

Experience

From accessibility-focused startups to non-profits and small businesses, I've collaborated with teams across industries to solve real problems for real people.

Education

My education spans formal UX/UI certification, agile development training, and a bachelor's degree grounded in communication, technology, and human behavior.

Tools

I pick up new tools quickly and believe the best designers aren't defined by what's in their toolkit today, but by how fast they can learn what's needed tomorrow.

Inclusivity

Accessibility isn't a feature I add at the end. It's a lens I apply from the very beginning, because good design should work for everyone.

Communication

Clear communication and genuine empathy help me navigate complex teams, advocate for users, and keep projects moving in the right direction.

Adaptability

I thrive in environments where priorities shift and no two days look the same. Flexibility isn't a coping mechanism for me, it's how I do my best work.
