I'm a visual and ux/ui designer who enjoys problem solving and visual communication.
About Me
I see visual / UX design as a visual and psychological challenge that strikes a satisfying balance between creativity and logic. I love getting immersed in optimizing layouts down to the pixel, creating brand identities that distill and communicate the image people and businesses want the world to see, and stepping inside the minds of users to create digital experiences that seamlessly help them get things done. More broadly, I am fascinated by influencing lived experiences through aesthetics.
I thrive in environments where I am learning new skills and integrating diverse perspectives into my worldview. I have woven design thinking and visual storytelling into my work over the years, and recently solidified my digital design skills at Ironhack's UX/UI bootcamp.
Other interests of mine include travel, dance, music, interior design, and scouting the best Thai food the cities I visit have to offer. If you are interesting in chatting or collaborating, please feel free to reach out via LinkedIn or email.
