About Me

As a UX/UI designer, my goal is to connect with the communities around me and effectively use design to amplify their voices and address their needs. Through a user-centered design approach, I aim to bridge the gap between these needs and the shortcomings within the digital space. My academic courses and self-led projects have taught me how to combine research, cutting-edge tools, and visual development to craft experiences that add value to people’s lives.
