Hometown: Fort Worth, Texas
Major: Communication Design, User Interaction Design Emphasis
Minors: Art History and Ceramics

About Me: I consider myself equal parts artist and designer, my background is in the visual arts (specifically ceramics), and this influence is truly seen in my work. I love understanding people's tactile interactions with systems in their everyday lives.

My favorite part of User Experience Design is the process. Creating something from a few baseline ideas and mapping out user desires drives my creativity. I love researching people's motivations and true needs.

A personal quality that has pushed my design to another level is that I consider myself a listener, which I continually have used to understand the world around me. I am adept at reading situations and figuring out people's passions and goals. I want my work to continually improve others' lives and maintain an empathetic approach.
