I’m here as the approachable friend I once wished for when navigating the early days of UX—not as a mentor on a pedestal. I show up as a peer who’s happy to chat design, swap stories, or offer thoughtful feedback without judgment. Whether you’re refining a portfolio, tackling an accessibility challenge, or just looking for someone who truly “gets it,” I’m here to listen, share real-world lessons, and make the journey feel a little less overwhelming. No hierarchy. No pressure. Just an honest, supportive conversation with someone who’s been there. With 6+ years of experience in UX—spanning design systems, accessibility improvements, and large-scale workflow redesigns—I’ve had the privilege of earning recognition like the o9 Annual Excellence Award "3 times" and leading VPAT accessibility efforts. Beyond work, I love connecting with designers, exchanging practical tips, and proving that growth in this field can be collaborative, encouraging, and even fun.
