I’m a senior at Kennesaw State University, majoring in Interactive Design with a minor in Data Science and Analytics. My journey started in 2020, when I watched Ian Spalter on Abstract: The Art of Design and realized design could make people feel supported and understood. I had no idea what UX was, but that idea stuck with me.
I started college in Computer Science but quickly realized I was more drawn to how people experience technology than how it works. Interactive Design felt like the perfect fit, a multidisciplinary field where I could combine my interest in psychology with creativity, empathy, and research.
What motivates me most is uncovering users' true underlying problems, not the obvious ones on the surface. I like being involved from start to finish, managing ambiguity along the way, and always working toward the right solution rather than simply the quickest one.
When I'm not designing, I'm probably discovering a new rock song in Spanish (currently on repeat), working on colorful art at @fluorescentdna, or out for a run. I finished my first marathon recently, something I'm still very proud of. I also recently fell in love with reading again and I'm currently making my way through The Summer My Mother Had Green Eyes by Tatiana Țîbuleac.
