User Experience

My first foray into creating digital experiences began in high school yearbook class where I dabbled with various Photoshop features. I loved seeing how elements came together on a page to tell a story.

Today, after transitioning from the print world to the online world, I have a greater appreciation and passion for digging into user pain points to create meaningful interactions.

UX Projects

Save Up

Save Up is a goal-tracking app designed to help individuals track their spending habits and visually see their progress at different benchmarks.

Portfolio

A new personal portfolio site to showcase my professional skills and personality was necessary as I entered the job market again with an expanded skillset that included UX design.
