I began college as a Computer Science major, interested in making websites and games with the skills I learned from programming. However, I soon found that my desire for creativity outweighed my skill, and by exploring other avenues I came upon the UX industry. Design offers the opportunity to work in the technology space, while constantly being creative, collaborating with others, and asking questions. I soon became passionate about user experience and, combined with my background in web development, practiced design thinking in my every day life.

Outside of work and school, I find solace in spending time with friends, being outdoors, and listening to music. I also can't imagine a life without travel, and hope to explore the world more as I continue to explore the design world as well.
