As a UX designer, I enjoy blending structure with empathy—using both logic and intuition to design experiences that truly connect with people. My path here wasn’t linear: I started in accounting as a CPA, CMA, and also spent years as a fine art painter and instructor. Wild combo? Maybe. But it trained me to simplify complexity, stay endlessly curious, and collaborate with people who think completely differently than I do.

Before UX, I spent a lot of time translating chaos into clarity — whether it was untangling financial reports or exploring abstract ideas on canvas. That same mindset fuels how I approach design: digging deep into murky problems, asking the right questions, and building solutions that actually make life better.
