Innovating with a Purpose
As a minority, neurodivergent woman designer, I bring a unique and well-rounded perspective to my work. My journey in design has been deeply rooted in the core skills essential for creating exceptional user experiences—empathy, collaboration, and strategic thinking. I thrive on working across diverse teams, building strong relationships with stakeholders, and ensuring that every project reflects the voices and needs of its users.
From the initial spark of an idea to the final product launch, I am passionate about every stage of the design process. My experience with user testing and analyzing data enables me to gather critical insights that shape intuitive and impactful designs. Prototyping and interface design are where my creativity comes to life, allowing me to translate concepts into engaging, functional interfaces.
I am committed to continuous learning and growth in my field. Whether it's honing my UX writing to ensure clear communication, deepening my research skills to uncover deeper user insights, or enhancing my facilitation techniques to lead more effective workshops, I am always seeking ways to become a better designer. I believe that understanding and adapting to new challenges is key to creating products that not only meet user needs but also drive meaningful change and innovation.
The things that make us different, those are our super powers.”
