I received a BA in Dance from UCLA, but once the pandemic started, I had some time to develop my interests in fashion. I built my own brand from scratch, designing graphics for clothes and even building my own website using Shopify. Although I didn't know it at the time, I was already practicing UX principles.

I had planned for a career in arts education, but during my first year of teaching I discovered UX through a friend. I fell in love with being able to use my creative skillset to develop real products that could improve people's lives.

Now, I’m a UX Designer, working on projects while continuing to learn UX/UI design. My background in education helps me better understand and advocate for the needs of people. I'm currently working as a UX/UI Designer at Amplify.
