My fascination with art began as a child when my grandmother and mother gave me a paintbrush. While I initially planned to study visual design at UW, my introductory courses sparked a realization: I wanted my work to extend beyond just aesthetics and make a tangible, positive impact on people's lives.

This pivot led me directly to UX design. Through immersive HCI courses and earning a UX Design Certificate, I've cultivated the skills to craft practical, visually compelling, and user-centric solutions. I am now excited to apply this background to the intersection of design and human experience.
