Profile
Hi! I’m a first generation college senior graduating with a B.A in computer science and a B.A in studio arts at the University of Rochester. I am an end-to-end designer who is passionate about fusing creative problem solving with design thinking to create visually stunning, intuitive, and delightful experiences! I have a strong passion for design. I have been honing my design skills not only through my internships and coursework, but also through personal research and practice/projects.
Experiences
I have experiences working on end-to-end design projects independently as well as within a team. I recently held a position as a product designer at Waital, a tech startup in Barcelona. I worked on redesigning the website to integrate their main audio recognition function, which allows users to identify all products, locations, and music from a specific scene in a movie or TV show. I was involved in the entire process from conducting user research to creating a low-fidelity prototype. I was also involved in a COVID-impact startup called SavingTakeouts as a frontend developer. My team and I—in close collaboration with the marketing team—consulted with small businesses to design and develop websites for them to help grow their digital presence and tell their stories beyond their block.
Interests
Curious by nature, I love learning new things and am always working to improve myself. I enjoy meeting new people, so I’m always down to chat over a cup of coffee. Chat with me about delicious foods, traveling and experiencing new cultures, books (I’m a sucker for historical fiction!), drawing, painting, music and anything else.
