I'm a designer from across the pond based in
the Bay Area, CA. Currently @ Microsoft.
My story in a nutshell
As a kid, I discovered my curiosity for art when I began drawing all over the kitchen walls at age five. I blamed it on my bro who was fifteen at the time. It was total chaos in the house. Since then, I’ve mastered putting pen to paper, specializing in Graphic Design (BA).
As a Visual Designer on the Windows team at Microsoft, I create product visuals and experiences with a systematic and detailed approach. Outside of work, I have dedicated the last year to learning User Experience design, obtaining a Nanodegree certification from Udacity. I find joy in understanding user behavior and crafting meaningful identities to create functional, delightful experiences.

This is my favorite quote from Shark Tank, it inspires me to stay focused, driven, and humble. I believe the answer lies in compassion, in doing the next right thing, in not becoming jaded to life's struggles—life is too short to not do the things you love.
A goal without a
timeline is simply a dream
