About Me
I am a product designer driven by a passion for making the world a better place through design. I believe that design has the power to improve accessibility, promote inclusivity, and increase social equity and justice. I aim to use my design skills to bring positive change to the world and make a meaningful impact on society.
My Story
I got into design through a master's degree in psychology, a lifetime of being an artist, an enthusiasm for technology, and a deep passion about improving peoples lives. Learning new things is my hobby; nearly any topic is interesting to me (although I most enjoy culture, history, psychology, science, and language). In my opinion, the best part about being a designer is asking questions, digging deep into human behavior, learning how to improve the way we do things, and constantly challenging our assumptions. I will never stop trying to grow and improve - and I love helping others do so, too!
