“It's not about standing still and becoming safe. If anybody wants to keep creating they have to be about change.”

- Miles Davis

In 2022, I took the first step in my UX/UI journey.

After working over a decade in industries I wasn’t passionate about, I decided it was time to make a change. I didn’t know exactly what I wanted to do, but I knew I wanted to do something creative. On the recommendation of a friend who’d recently graduated, I was introduced to Springboard’s UX/UI program.

UX/UI is something we engage with every single day. It’s something I often have no shortage of complaints about when it’s done poorly. I couldn’t believe that I’d never considered this a career avenue sooner. I was a bit apprehensive about taking out another loan for school, but I’ve gone into debt for worse things…

I took a gamble on myself and signed up for the Springboard UX/UI Career Track in December of 2022. I knew this was something I wanted to do, something that I COULD do.

About

Background

Lifelong jazz lover bringing that sensibility to UX design. I believe good UX has to be flexible; there’s no one size fits all approach to design. As a designer with three years of experience, I strive to meet the individual needs of every client I work with. I’m always trying to grow my skill set in order to best meet the moment.

Springboard (2022 Cohort) UX/UI Design Certification

Worked closely with long-time industry professionals, receiving mentorship and feedback for projects.
Learned industry trends and best practices for UX Design.
Applied knowledge for various projects including two major Capstone projects.
Networked with several different students to develop a sense of working on a UX project in a group context.

Current Projects

I create things that ignite my passion.

Currently developing:

A social media app (think: Hinge) but for musicians to connect locally and jam.
Regimen-builder app for DECIEM’s “The Ordinary”
