Student UX Designer & Researcher exploring how thoughtful design meets real user needs.

passion and profession

I am a creative person at heart. Mixing this in with an empathetic mindset and a tech-savvy persona, I have felt naturally drawn to the field of UX.

My career goal is to promote, research, and design real engagement. I want to help others understand the importance of heuristic thinking in their developments by making a positive impact on their accessibility and efficiency.

Though I’m still exploring my specialization, I approach every opportunity with focus, curiosity, and a drive to create meaningful impact.
