I am a user experience designer and software engineer focused in creating and developing intuitive and accessible user interfaces and applications.

I have always developed a passion in designing visuals and developing applications that are intuitive and unique, while uncovering ways to help solve problems in one’s online experiences. I recently completed my undergraduate in Computer Science and Communications, with a focus in user experience design, human-computer interaction, and software development. My skills from my academics and certification programs taught me to empathize with the users, and design and development softwares that craft positive experiences and is accessible to users.

When I’m not designing, developing or studying, you can always find me exploring new places, trying new food places and binge-watching a good Netflix show (or movie)!
