About me

I’m a multidisciplinary creative person who's learning and growing in the world of UX/UI design. With over 20 years of experience in sound engineering and photography, I’ve always been driven by the balance between technical skill and artistic vision. My time in the film industry as a sound utility taught me the value of adaptability, problem-solving, and collaboration. Whether it was setting up equipment, managing noise on set, or acting as a backup for the boom operator, I was constantly learning how to think on my feet and keep things running smoothly behind the scenes.

As a self-taught photographer with work published in Popular Photography Magazine, I’ve honed my ability to experiment and push creative boundaries. I also write music, channeling my creativity into compositions that reflect my evolving approach to art. These experiences have fueled my passion for UX design, where I’m focused on creating user-centered experiences. I’m still learning how to navigate this space, but I’m excited to bring my creative problem-solving mindset, attention to detail, and collaborative spirit into each design project. With every step, I aim to create seamless, intuitive interfaces that make a real impact, learning and growing along the way.
