Hey there! So glad you’re here :)
I'm a designer at heart, someone who started in graphic and visual design and fell in love with the bigger picture along the way. These days, I care most about holistic experiences: not just how something looks, but how it actually works for the people using it.
I recently graduated from NC State with my M.A. in Graphic and Experience Design, but my path there wasn't exactly a straight line. I started at my local community college, found my footing at Western Carolina University, and along the way discovered that research and accessibility weren't just "nice to haves" in design; they were the whole point.
What I love most is the space where good visuals meet good problem-solving. A beautiful interface means nothing if people can't use it, and a functional one feels incomplete if it doesn't also feel considered. I try to live in that overlap, bringing a designer's eye to research-backed, user-centered work.
I'm looking for a product team that values both craft and curiosity, where I can keep learning, keep asking why, and keep making things that actually help people.
