What I'm looking for

I seek roles that let me blend UX/UI and interior design, emphasize accessibility and storytelling, offer creative leadership, and enable measurable user impact.

I am a multidisciplinary designer with a foundation in interior architecture and digital product design, focused on creating accessible and emotionally resonant experiences across physical and digital environments.

I lead branding, UX/UI, and product design work, building cohesive identities and digital tools that improve user workflows and organization while applying accessibility principles and intuitive navigation.

My background includes hands-on interior design and spatial planning—designing spa environments, producing marketing content, and creating AutoCAD layouts in collaboration with architects and engineers.

I hold a UX/UI Design Certification (Google/Coursera) and an Associate's Degree in Interior Architecture & Design, and I bring a design-thinking approach, leadership, and client-relations experience to projects that merge function with aesthetic storytelling.
