Off the clock I gather references on Are.na, play guitar, and mess around with code. (See below)

As a kid, I always loved making things— journals, scrapbooks, planners. When school moved onto screens and slide decks, that love didn't go away. I'd obsess over layouts, color, and type for every presentation. Even then I sensed what I couldn't name yet: how information is structured and presented changes how people feel about it.
A UX/UI summer program sophomore year of high school reframed everything. An instructor said I'd already been designing—for years—in Google Slides, Instagram stories, even how I organized my scrapbooks. After my first real case study, I knew this was what I wanted to do. I'm still hungry to learn; every project feels like a new puzzle.
Design isn't about making things "look nice." It's empathy—the spacing, the button placement, the tedious details. I love building from zero to one: an idea in your head becoming something people can click and feel. Digital media isn't separate from "real" life; it's the environment we live in. Constraints force clarity. Limits push you to solve.
I've traded Google Slides and scrapbooking for prototypes and print—but the motivation hasn't changed. I want digital/visual experiences to make you feel something and make life a little easier, built from nothing into something impactful.
