About Me

I'm a user defender, problem solver, and a firm believer that life is all about experiences and collaborations. I see design as a way of life and believe that everyone is a designer. We only need to remember that nothing exists in a vacuum and as a result design intentionally and holistically.

I came to UX design & Front-End Web Development from a long-lived fascination with technology, its progress, use as well as its impact on the modern world. After taking the Human-Computer Interaction Design class as a part of my CS major, I became obsessed with this field. I was a project manager as well as a UX designer on various teams and worked on projects, which included UX research, design, and front-end web development. It was an experience I enjoyed the most, seeing an idea come alive by merging technology, creativity, and problem-solving through collaborative design thinking and development. It led me to pursue two degrees: Computer Science and Human Centered Design, which allowed me to learn in-depth what it takes to create technology that fixes a real-life problem in a usable and enjoyable way.

When I'm not working, I'm exploring WA with my daughter, meditating, playing 🎮 video games, reading, or watching 📺 old crime series such as Columbo, Agatha Christie's Poirot, and Murder, She Wrote.

My personal mantra: life is about experiences and we are spiritual beings having a human experience.
