🎨 About Me:

I am a passionate UX/UI Designer with a diverse background in Child and Adolescent Development. My journey began in the world of education, where I served as an educator for elementary-aged children (4-14), nurturing them into the captivating individuals they are today.

👩🏻‍🏫 Educational Roots

As an educator, I honed essential skills in effective communication, adaptability, and creative problem-solving. Managing a classroom with compassion and consideration became second nature, fostering an environment that was not only efficient but also enjoyable and memorable. My time in teaching instilled in me a profound sense of empathy, motivating me to extend my understanding to a broader spectrum of individuals.

🔍 Transition to UX/UI Design

In the transformative year of 2020, I discovered the captivating world of UX/UI Design. This field provided the perfect canvas for me to merge my educational background with newfound expertise in user research, wireframing, prototyping, and informational hierarchy. Now, armed with a diverse skill set, I strive to craft meaningful, functional, and aesthetically pleasing user-centered designs.

🌐 My Approach

I bring a unique perspective to design, marrying the meticulous planning and empathy cultivated in the classroom with the precision and innovation demanded by the UX/UI landscape. My goal is to create seamless and enjoyable user experiences that resonate with a wide audience.
