About Me

As a designer, I love to find ways to understand how a person’s experiences shape their personality, and how they interact with the world. In UX that means I’m always thinking from the user’s perspective. I'm a problem solver, visual thinker, collaborator,  and adaptable. Strength is not defined as never falling, but getting back up every time we do.

If the user is having a problem, it’s our problem.
-Steve Jobs

My enthusiasm is often best utilized when I combine my creative pursuits with technology.  My exploration of these two things has taken me through arts and crafts, video games, technical theater, film-making and settling on user-centered design.

Born and raised in Houston, Texas; will always be part Texan. I escaped the humid oven of the South to attend Santa Clara University for my Bachelors in communication and later moved back to my hometown in Texas. I love animals, especially dogs; there is nothing better than coming home at the end of the day to a wagging, wiggling, licking, ecstatic fur-baby.

My interests and hobbies include:

  • hiking 

  • movies & TV

  • anime & manga

  • learning about Tech

  • listening to music

  • going to dog parks with my dog.

  • reading 

  • fanfiction 

  • gaming

  • PaintNite

  • arts and crafts

  • ceramics
