It was always my dream to become a layout editor for a magazine. That dream led me from San Diego to Purdue University, where I landed my first two design jobs and graduated with a degree in Visual Communications Design and a minor in Advertising.

Post graduation, my professional background consists of over 6 years of layout design, corporate branding, email marketing and retention, website creation, illustration, package design, and UX and UI work for both web and native apps. I have worked with a wide range of clients including international e-commerce merchants, professional sports teams, colleges, travel companies, and restaurants.

In 2022, I transitioned from a Visual Designer to a Product Designer and simultaneously obtained a UX certification through General Assembly. In 2024, I obtained an Advanced Figma certification. It’s been invigorating learning how to apply my visual communication foundations into user-centered experiences and I’m excited to keep exploring this space.

Outside of work, you will find me taking a workout class (the sweatier, the better), exploring Chicago (my favorite city that I am lucky to call home), or trying to get through my reading list (the goal for 2024 is 90 books!)
