About Me
Hello!
I am a 24-year-old recent graduate from the University of Connecticut with a BFA in Digital Media and Design, concentrated in Web and Interactive Media
I was first introduced to visual design in 2017 as I was a junior in high school and immediately discovered my passion for it. As a natural problem solver, I find that through human-centered design, I can use my creativity to design experiences to help targeted users.
After designing, my passion is dancing. In my senior year at the University of Connecticut, I was a captain of the Dance Team. As a member and leader of this team, I developed excellent personal and professional skills while gaining experience interacting with crowds and sports fans. I especially feel incredibly honored to have been on this team because I had the opportunity to perform on the court of the Men's College Basketball National Championship to a crowd of over 80,000 people!
