resume
about me
i come from a musical and literary background, having been a musician for over a decade and earning my B.A. in english literature at Fordham University in new york city.
in the spring of 2023, shortly after graduating from an intensive software engineering bootcamp at General Assembly, i realized that my interests lay more within the design aspects of web and app design. thus, i pursued an online certificate in UI/UX design via CalArts.
i excel in web and UI design and helping brands find their best voice. in those departments i put my artistic inclinations to work.
outside of these endeavors, i love to run, do crosswords, write music for my band Teen Idle, and try new foods, especially Korean and Mexican cuisine.
