About me
I began my career as a freelance graphic designer, combining my customer service background and passion for design to solve real-world problems.
In 2023, I shifted focus to user interface design, which led to an opportunity with Apple's UI Engineering team, where I contributed to enhancing both software and in-store experiences. This experience solidified my role as a full-stack product designer, leading projects from research to prototyping with a focus on delivering impactful solutions.
Driven by design’s power to connect communities and enrich lives, I’m pursuing my BFA in Graphic Design at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte.

In my spare time
I’m naturally curious and always eager to learn. In my spare time, I love illustrating characters for comics and personal projects, with a focus on Afro-futurism. I have a passion for all things retro, and I’ve built an extensive collection of DVDs and vinyls. As a foodie and someone who loves to cook, I enjoy experimenting with new recipes in the kitchen. Above all, I’m fascinated by the creative process in everything I do.
