about me!
I'm originally from the Metro Detroit area, but I'm currently studying UX Design at Purdue University. I'm a senior and will be graduating in May 2025. I love to explore new design spaces, whether that be a UI redesign or discovering how a physical product is used. I hope to use my design skills to make others lives simpler and easier, and I can't wait to begin making an impact!
