My Story

How it All Started

During my elementary school years, I discovered my love for design by spending countless hours on the computer, creating menus and magazines for playful enjoyment with friends. This passion led me to attend an art school in middle and high school, where I initially pursued visual arts before transitioning to become a digital media major. It was there that I truly fell in love with design, delving into typography, and color theory, and exploring diverse media like print design, web design, photography, and videography. Through my varied experiences, I even found myself unexpectedly nominated as the yearbook editor.

The Transition

Although I initially pursued a path in physical therapy, I soon realized how much I missed the world of design. This realization sparked my UI/UX journey, and I haven't looked back since. I find immense satisfaction in utilizing my creativity, combining functionality and practicality, and leveraging technology in my daily life through user interface design. I am thrilled to be a part of this field and eager to share my UI design ideas and acquired skills.

My Mission

From crafting mobile apps from scratch to developing cohesive and responsive websites, or breathing new life into existing products, I approach my work with passion and dedication. Each day as a designer brings new opportunities for growth and discovery, and I am grateful for the chance to learn and conquer new challenges.

Aside From Design...

During my leisure time, you'll often find me outdoors—taking relaxing walks in the neighborhood, visiting the beach, or indulging in my love for snowboarding in the mountains. As a music enthusiast, I also enjoy attending live music events. I draw inspiration for design from my travels and exploration, so I'm always ready for an exciting adventure.

Thank you for taking the time to learn more about me and my journey as a UI/UX designer. I look forward to connecting with you and creating exceptional design experiences together.
