What I'm looking for

Seeking a collaborative environment that values user-centered thinking, with opportunities for growth and professional development.

As a detail-oriented UI/UX designer with a background in behavioral psychology, I seek to understand how people think in order to create intuitive, painless digital experiences. With a strong educational foundation in Psychology from San José State University, I have honed my skills in designing user-centered experiences that meet or exceed recommended guidelines.

Throughout my career, I have demonstrated my ability to effectively lead design teams, increasing productivity and ensuring that UX best practices are followed. My expertise in design tools such as Figma, Adobe Illustrator, and Paint Tool SAI has enabled me to create wireframes, prototypes, and visual designs that meet and exceed client needs.

I am passionate about creating innovative solutions that reflect a deep understanding of user behaviors. My experience in usability testing, information architecture, and design systems has equipped me to tackle complex design challenges and deliver high-quality results.
