Passion Meets Precision:
Leveraging a Broad UX Skillset
Precision and Focus from Esports
I competed in fighting game tournaments across the Southeast U.S., where intense practice and high-stress environments sharpened my precision and adaptability. These experiences fostered a laser-focused, improvement-oriented mindset, which now underpins my professional approach and drives my dedication to continual growth and excellence.
Hands-On UX Research
My UX research journey began with an undergrad in psychological research where I studied human behavior using various mixed-methods strategies. Later I joined VGM, handling a range of responsibilities, from moderating user interviews and usability tests to managing end-to-end research projects. The latter involved coordinating large-scale playtests, liaising with various cross-functional teams, and producing concise reports with actionable insights for our clients.
Comprehensive Design Experience
Recently, I completed a full-time UX/UI design program with General Assembly, immersing myself in over 480 hours of study, practice, and professional training. I worked through every stage of the UX/UI design process, using Agile methods and iterative development to deliver effective, user-centered designs.
Creating Resonant Experiences
I believe people don’t just buy products; they invest in experiences that resonate with them. I’m dedicated to turning even the simplest user tasks into meaningful, enjoyable experiences, ensuring every interaction leaves a lasting impression.

My introduction to UX began with an undergrad focus in psychological research, where I studied human behavior through mixed-methods strategies. In my most recent role, I applied my skills more practically in a fast-paced startup environment. I designed and led end-to-end research initiatives, coordinating with cross-functional teams of recruiters, analysts, and logistics staff, ensuring our collective efforts aligned with client goals. The result? Concise reports that transformed complex data into actionable insights, ultimately empowering our clients to make informed decisions.
