DESIGN JOURNEY
Design isn't just my profession—it's my lifelong passion.
My design journey began in an unexpected way: helping my color-blind dad pick website colors for local dental practices.
Fast forward through years of freelance web design projects, endless coffee-fueled coding sessions, and diving into both computer science and UX design at the University of Michigan, I've found my niche: making technology feel effortlessly human.

Early years
First steps into design
I spent countless hours helping my color-blind dad pick website colors for dental practices. And yes, all the websites turned out just fine (no accidentally blue teeth involved)!
Freelance web designer
My side-hustle era
After catching the design bug at an early age, I started creating websites in my free time. I taught myself to code and discovered my love for building things that are not only beautiful but also functional.
University of Michigan
Refining my skills
Studying both computer science and UX design gave me a unique perspective. I can speak both designer and developer, allowing me to bridge the gap between technical feasibility and human-centered design principles to create viable solutions that meet user needs.
Currently
Designing for millions of users
Now based in New York City as a designer at General Motors, I help shape the future of automotive digital experiences through our app and brand sites. Designing for millions of users challenges me to simplify complex, legacy systems and make them feel more human.
