Passions.

I’m a UX/UI designer and user researcher passionate about discovering the world around me and gaining understanding of the new people and places I meet along the way.

I love any project that requires my hands - like gardening, screen printing, embroidery, illustration, and sewing. Check out some of my handmade, embroidered pillows here.

I love dogs. All of them. It doesn’t matter if I see a dog across the street or while scrolling Instagram, I love them. My dog, Bosley, is my favorite, and I also volunteer at my local animal shelter.
