more about me...
As a UX & Graphic Designer, I am passionate about typography, iconography, color theory and the psychology behind the details in our everyday products. Brand development and user experience are where I feel can make the most impactful designs, but I will not back down from a challenge elsewhere. By incorporating research and conceptual thinking, I believe good design is in the details.
You'll find me to be an open-minded, quick learner who uses communication and organization skills to adapt and accomplish multiple projects. Working together or individually, I am always eager to hone my skills, hands-on and digitally.
