I'm a multidisciplinary designer with a heart for human-centered experiences. Currently pursuing my Master's in UX Design at Rutgers University, I bring a well-rounded background as a multidisciplinary designer to the table. I'm not just one specialty. I specialize in the UX research phase, usability testing, and product design, but I thrive on wearing multiple hats. I'm the person you call when you need someone who can just make things happen. Whether it's black magic or sheer determination. One pixel at a time, I create experiences that make life a little easier for users everywhere.
