I am a UX Designer with a previous background in finance, operations, and procurement. I have always had a strong passion for technology and how it can make our quality of life better through our day to day interactions. This passion is what led me to study UX/UI design through CareerFoundry. I have conducted A/B tests, preference tests, created personas, and developed a strong proficiency in wire-framing and prototyping using industry standard software (i.e Figma, Proto.io, Photoshop, Balsamiq, etc.) As a tech enthusiast, I want to apply my skills in research and UX design in order to help make products that people will not only enjoy using but can also benefit from.

CSU Fullerton
A UX/UI Designer with a background in finance, research, marketing, sales, and procurement. I am in
love with good design and it’s ability to create an enjoyable experience for users. A lifelong learner
who is passionate about technology and its ability to make our lives more interconnected.
As a recent graduate at CareerFoundry, I spent 500+ hours working on various design projects, skill
sets, and methodologies. For my final course project, I was tasked with compiling a case study for a
tattoo design application for people looking to get tattooed and uncovering painpoints within the
current landscape. It was through this project that I was able garner invaluable insights while
conducting user interviews, competitive analysis, persona development, etc. Furthermore, I was able
to work with various industry leading design softwares (i.e Figma, inVision, Proto.io, Balsamiq) to
sharpen my skillsets and create low-high fidelity prototypes.
