What I'm looking for

I seek a collaborative environment where I can leverage my design skills to create impactful user experiences and grow professionally.

As a dedicated UX designer, I have led a team of four designers as a SCRUM Master, creating a campus-wide AR experience using agile methodologies. My experience includes hosting design workshops and studio sessions for the creative community in New Orleans, fostering collaboration and innovation.

My senior capstone project involved developing an AR menu equipped with interactive foodie games, showcasing my ability to blend technology with user engagement. I am fluent in both English and Spanish, and I bring over seven years of customer service experience, which enhances my understanding of user needs and expectations.

In my recent roles as a Design Intern at New Orleans & Company and Synergy Design Group, I collaborated with web developers and designed visually compelling marketing materials, ensuring brand consistency and audience appeal. My freelance work as a Web Designer has further honed my skills in creating intuitive designs that effectively engage users.
