Education & Skills

I hold a Bachelor's degree in Graphic Design with a specialization in Interface Design. This background brings structure and intentionality to my design approach. I work across the full spectrum of product and visual design — from research, prototyping, and concepting to cross-functional collaboration, mentoring, and delivering high-quality user experiences driven by product metrics.
