About Me
I’m a UX Designer working at a government consulting firm in Washington, DC (2.5+ years) with prior experience in user experience, higher education and nonprofits, as well as working knowledge of HTML, CSS and basic JS.
I love building products that connect people and make some aspect of their lives easier.
My previous cross-cultural experience in teaching, administration, and customer service informs every part of my design process - from user interviews and usability tests to facilitating collaboration and presenting my designs.
I’m a highly empathetic world citizen who solves practical problems.
I continuously look to make lasting, authentic cross-cultural connections as a curious lifelong language student passionate about Hispanic culture.
In all facets of my life I seek to bring joy to the lives of those around me, and in business I do that by consistently striving to provide the optimal user experience to clients.
