Dear visitor,

Thanks for stopping by! Here’s a little more about me if you’re curious.

My backstory

I discovered my passion for UX while completing my Computer Science degree at the University of Florida (go gators!). I extended my summer internship at CBRE to join the UX team, where I grew my appreciation for enterprise UX: the perfect blend of technical knowledge and creativity. I love working with different teams to understand problems and develop solutions that satisfy users and meet technical requirements. I am also NN/g certified and received my certification in Product Management through Stanford Online.

My 9 to 5

I’m a senior UX designer @ 7-Eleven, where I work on our enterprise pricing and item onboarding tools. I spend most of my days in FigJam or Figma, creating service blueprints or designing new features. My favorite Slurpee is the Pina Colada!

My 5 to 9

On weekdays, you can catch me making lattes at Sūkun, taking classes at Qalam, or creating flyers for local organizations. During the weekend, I’ll be at my local Pilates studio, concocting a new coffee syrup at home, or volunteering at Roots Community Space. I help organize monthly socials and community hikes with Roots. (although hike is a generous word considering the lackluster topography of DFW). It’s a great way to meet new folks and catch up with old friends!

I also love to learn! I’m currently taking a course on the 40 Hadith of Imam Nawawi through Qalam, and I’m learning calligraphy through the Deen Arts Foundation. My goals for 2026 are to learn color grading, get back into crocheting, and continue taking new classes.

What’s on my bookshelf?
