about me

i got into the design industry after a long winding journey in the music, hospitality and wine industry. as an incredibly fast learner i've had the opportunity to travel the world and collect many skills from the positions I've held. i've always loved to design as a hobby but when I discovered ux/ui it was like something clicked and I knew what it was I should be doing for the rest of my life.
the most fascinating part of interface design to me is that everything revolves around the user. by applying research, human behavior, and visual elements, it's possible to create a design that's not only a pleasure for the user, but keeps them coming back for more which drives the business forward.
my background in management, hospitality and sales gives me a unique perspective in design because it helps me empathize with the user by approaching problems at many different angles and allows for effectively working in both team and leadership roles.
outside of design you can find me playing bass guitar and piano, on the tennis court or at spanish class.
