About Me
A few years ago, I found myself in a product design exhibit at the Houston Museum of Fine Arts. I was fascinated by this field at the intersection of psychology, engineering, and creativity. After developing plastic products for 5 years, I decided that I wanted to shift my focus from designing plastics for machines to designing experiences for people. I am now pursuing a Master's degree in Human Centered Design with a focus on UX Design and Service Design.
I have a strong background in analytical thinking and technical problem solving, which I am able to balance with my inherent empathy.
