What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a UX/UI role where research drives decisions, aesthetics matter, and I can build user-centered products end-to-end—turning expressive storytelling into functional, responsive interfaces with clear mentorship and room to grow.

I’m a Visual Artist specializing in painting, printmaking, and photography, and I’m currently transitioning into UX/UI Design. I bring a creative storytelling foundation and visual research instincts, evolving my practice to produce intentional, user-centered digital experiences.

I’m deepening my UX/UI toolkit through an end-to-end process: user research, wireframing, and high-fidelity prototyping. I apply an advanced understanding of visual hierarchy and color theory—skills honed through Fine Arts—to design interfaces that feel intuitive and purposeful.

Alongside design training, I’ve worked in detail-heavy roles: transcribing and annotating English audio data to improve AI model performance, and supporting fine art production with careful paper quilling work and meticulous packing and crating. I value discipline, critical thinking, and collaboration—so my outcomes bridge expressive storytelling with functional design.
