About Me: I am a User Experience Design major that enjoys solving real-world problems and creating accessible products and spaces for others. I love hearing others talk about their experiences and passions, which allows me to be successful as a user-focused designer. I am also an artist who uses many mediums to conceptually explore identity from queer and BIPOC lenses as well as fantasy-inspired character creation. My background in visual art assists my UX/UI Design process by having an eye for good composition, understanding how target users will feel when interacting with a design, and receiving and applying feedback to improve my work for the sake of users. 

What's something that is always on your desk? Sticky notes, loose paper, and/or sketchbooks.
