About Me
My path to UX design is anything but conventional — and that's exactly what shapes the way I work. With a background in Environmental Management, time studying community engagement through teaching art to youth in South Africa, and a transformative stretch of Peace Corps service in Ghana, I've always been drawn to the intersection of community, creativity, and purpose. Watching creativity bring tangible value to communities around the world is what convinced me to pivot toward a career in design.
That shift led me back to school for Graphic Design, and eventually into UX — where I found the perfect blend of artistry and problem-solving. At the heart of my process is a genuine investment in working with people, not just for them. I believe good design should make life not only easier, but more joyful. Everyone deserves to thrive in their environment, not just survive.
