I think we’d make a great team!

I am passionate about combining graphic design and coding to create beautiful, easy-to-use interfaces. My education in marketing has taught me how to prioritize the end user in every step of the development process.

Outside of work and school, I love learning about plants, cooking, and reading mystery books. My ideal weekend includes teaching myself new skills–ranging from new coding languages to music production.
