I've always believed the best ideas come from unexpected places. That belief started at The University of Texas at Austin, where I studied Management Information Systems before a UX internship at Target completely changed how I thought about technology. It inspired me to add a certificate in Digital Arts & Media and begin building a career at the intersection of business, technology, and design.

Over the past decade, I've designed enterprise software, ecommerce experiences, AI-powered products, and design systems for companies like AT&T and Pizza Hut. Along the way, I realized I was just as fascinated by the decisions behind the product as the product itself, which led me to earn a Master's in Integrated Business, Design & Technology from USC. Whether I'm simplifying an enterprise workflow, evolving a design system, or prototyping with AI, I'm usually trying to answer the same question: How do we make complexity feel more human?

Outside of work, I'm usually chasing ideas. One week it's behavioral psychology, the next it's Greek mythology, Mexican design history, photography, architecture, or the future of AI. The farther I wander from design, the better designer I become.
