Growing up, I was always drawn to creative outlets like painting and playing piano. Later this evolved into a passion and fascination for creative digital experiences. I graduated Southern Methodist University with degrees in Fashion Media and Advertising. As I transitioned from college to work, I always planned to get a continued education in graphic design. Soon after graduation, I worked as an e-commerce specialist in luxury retail, but I soon felt limited in my creative freedom. This pushed me to explore a career in UX design, where I found a perfect blend of creativity and problem-solving that excited me.
