A Career of Connecting with People
My Realization
UX Design is Working with People
I realized that the skills I'd honed—from managing relationships to anticipating needs and putting people first—are the very core of user-centered design. I saw that I could apply the same passion for understanding people to building intuitive and impactful digital experiences.

Now, I bring that same dedication and empathy to the world of UX. I thrive on diving into the messy parts of the design process, turning complex problems into simple, elegant solutions that feel genuinely helpful. I believe that by embracing the grit and celebrating the journey, we can build products that truly resonate with people.
