About Me
I'm a dedicated Product Designer based in Venice Beach, Los Angeles. I hold an associate's degree in graphic design and am currently pursuing a bachelor's degree in interaction design at Santa Monica College.
My expertise spans both desktop and mobile experiences, integrating a deep understanding of design principles, methodologies, and frameworks.
Beyond my professional life, I find creative inspiration in slacklining and acroyoga on the shores of Santa Monica.
