About Me
With a background in programming, I always was drawn to the design aspect of visual interfaces. As a UX designer, I research, synthesize, and cultivate screen layouts to satisfy user needs and business goals. I use empathy and creativity to make an enjoyable, memorable, and productive user experience.
