My neurodivergent perspective helps me explore creative ways to connect people, stories, and systems. As I grow in the UX field, I focus on designing solutions that are accessible, intuitive, and impactful.
My UX Journey
Before I knew of UX, I was already listening deeply, noticing disconnects, translating complexity, and imagining better systems.
Today, my process builds on that foundation:
Discovery → Define → Ideate → UI & Build → Validate → Iterate
I explore community, mental health, and cultural revitalization through early-stage multimedia projects, where I apply UX thinking to understand needs and consider how digital tools might support social change.

Neurodivergence as an Asset
My neurodivergent perspective shapes how I work – navigating neurotypical systems while thinking across disciplines. My strengths include systems thinking, pattern recognition, and problem reframing. I notice what others overlook and design experiences that are inclusive and intuitive.
Multidisciplinary Creative Practice
Alongside web design, I’m also a multidisciplinary artist. My creative practice spans filmmaking, photography, music, and dance. These experiences inform how I approach design, grounding it in empathy, narrative, and a focus on people and place.
