How I Design

I believe good design listens before it speaks. I start with curiosity — understanding user needs, goals, and friction points — and work toward experiences that feel intuitive and empowering. With a technical foundation and a visual eye, I love turning complexity into clarity through clean UI, systems thinking, and purposeful storytelling.

🧠 Every design decision begins with listening — to users, to context, to needs.
💡I connect the dots between features, flows, and functions to keep things intuitive.
🎨 I use white space, visual hierarchy, and thoughtful typography to make interfaces feel calm and usable.

What I Bring to the Table

UX Research

I use interviews, journey maps, and usability testing to uncover real user needs.

Visual Design

I craft clean, accessible interfaces with thoughtful typography and hierarchy.

Frontend Knowledge

I apply my knowledge of Python, Java, C, and HTML/CSS to bring ideas to life through code.

Content Strategy

I write microcopy, guide content structure, and ensure every interface speaks clearly and purposefully.

Design Systems

I believe in consistency — from components to colors — and love organizing scalable design systems in Figma.

Collaboration & Communication

Whether with developers, stakeholders, or teammates — I bring clarity, empathy, and structure to every collaboration.

Outside the Screen

“Beyond design, I find joy in creating thoughtful gifts, capturing life through photos, and building community through faith and creativity.”
