I am a Seattle Native who is conquering the midwest at the University of Michigan studying User Experience Design & Quantitative Methods. I am a senior undergraduate student also continuing on to receive an accelerated Masters in Information specialized in User Centered Agile Development.

I believe designers need more skills than just creating and prototyping to be a great designers. That is why I am learning design and development skills, putting that together to make the product lifecycle more efficient and effective.

My Design Philosophy

It is most important to me to identify the problem and keep it at the forefront of my design and solution. I believe that technology has the capacity to transform lives; designers just need to remember whose needs need to be prioritized based on the problem being solved. A crucial part of that involves including those who may be typically forgotten.
