My journey into the world of design started with a fascination for web development. I took several self-guided bootcamps to learn HTML, CSS and Javascript, which laid a strong technical foundation for me. However, it was during this exploration that I discovered my true passion: creating user-friendly, aesthetically pleasing digital experiences.
This newfound passion led me to dive deeper into UX/UI design. I enrolled in three more specialized bootcamps, including one from the University of California, Irvine. Each of these learning experiences enriched my skills and fueled my enthusiasm for designing interfaces that people love to use.
I believe in the power of empathy and teamwork, turning concepts into beautifully crafted, user-friendly designs. By leveraging research and data, I strive to create digital experiences that simplify and enhance everyday life.
Thanks for visiting my portfolio. Let's create something amazing together!
