My Story
My journey began with a love for gaming and bringing ideas to life. My BFA in Game Design and Development, combined with a minor in Computer Science, has equipped me with the versatile skill set displayed on my website - graphic design, web design, and game design.​​
During my studies, I discovered my true calling in web design and UI/UX. My background in game design and computer science seamlessly translates into creating engaging and user-friendly digital experiences, including skills such as storyboarding, creating atmospheric visuals, and HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and SQL coding. With certifications in Wix Accessibility and Velo Development, I'm committed to crafting inclusive and technically sound web solutions. I'm constantly seeking new challenges and opportunities to expand my knowledge in this ever-evolving field, driven by my passion for creating intuitive and visually appealing digital experiences.
