I’m a DC based UX Designer, graphic designer, and photographer. I’ve been in the field of digital design for 8 years and have recently fallen in love with user experience design. Since I was a kid, I have always loved helping people. I always thought I would grow up to be an art teacher or in some position that allows me to creatively assist people. After earning a BFA in computer game design at George Mason University and having a career in graphic design and photography, I discovered UX and realized that this was it; I found a perfect amalgamation of design and communal assistance. In this field, I can not only continue my passion for design, but I can also make a difference in the lives of all the people who use the apps and web pages that I develop.
Whether it’s saving them a click on a purchase flow or creating accessibility for the differently-abled, my goal in UX is to improve the lives of everyone I reach.
I am only human though, so if I’m not working, you’ll find me eating chipotle, playing video games, traveling to far flung places, hanging out with friends, or watching my fantasy football teams underperform on any given Sunday.
