About Me
Hi there!
As a recent M.A. (Emerging Media) graduate and aspiring UX designer, my primary goal is to create engaging and easy-to-use experiences for users. I believe that good design should always center around the needs and expectations of the user, and I am committed to working closely with others to understand their goals and develop solutions that align with those goals.
My passion for UX design and emerging media comes from a desire to improve people’s lives through technology. By keeping up with the latest trends and techniques in design, I am always seeking new ways to make digital products more enjoyable to use.
I also have experience in local journalism from working as an intern at The Oglethorpe Echo, a (was dying) local newspaper for Oglethorpe County, GA, covering news for the cities & towns in the county. From writing to interviewing to producing, I have dabbled in them all.
When I’m not writing, designing, or creating, you can find me trying overpriced lattes at local coffee shops. If you’re looking for a dedicated UX designer & journalist who is passionate about making a difference, then I would love to hear from you. Drop me a line below!
