Aspiring designer specializing in visual communication and user experience.

What I'm looking for

I am seeking a collaborative environment that fosters creativity and innovation, with opportunities for professional growth.

As a dedicated design intern at the University of Washington, I have honed my skills in brand development and visual communication design. My academic journey, culminating in a Bachelor of Design, has equipped me with a strong foundation in creating cohesive web pages and mobile UI designs. I have successfully collaborated with clients, facilitated workshops, and developed engaging motion graphics, all while maintaining a GPA of 3.78.

My experience extends beyond traditional design roles; I have developed and delivered design workshops for students and faculty, enhancing their proficiency in tools such as InDesign, Photoshop, and After Effects. My commitment to innovation is evident in my directed research, where I designed speculative sensing devices utilizing advanced spatial sensors and artificial intelligence as a design material. I thrive in collaborative environments, as demonstrated during my role as a UI/UX designer for MyXP, where I led brand identity creation and user experience design.
