CURRENTLY
With a lot of my past work being set in the education technology space, providing equal opportunities to learning and lowering the barriers to entry for higher education are consistently important to me. I believe design in tech should serve as a primary means of creating a more accessibility online environment.
Currently, I’m helping build design systems part time @ NeuraFlash, helping teach web dev @ UMSI, and freelance designing for ed-tech startups.

MY DESIGN PHILOSOPHY
I believe to truly create an emotional experience from a product, you have to be driven by your own emotional experiences. My inspiration for design stems from my passion for the things that bring joy in my everyday life.
After I began my formal journey into digital design and computer programming, I realized that my love for design began way before I learned my way around any editor or IDE. Whether it be recreating my most memorable life moments through Spotify playlists, organizing lists on Letterbox movies that capture my favorite moments in cinematography, or spending hours organizing the perfect layout for a collage of posters on my dorm room wall, my eye for design helps me make sense of the world around me.
I believe there's comfort in understanding that we all have the power to be the designers of our own life — and I want to help people realize that through my work.
