Gamer. Potter. Binge watcher.
I'm a data driven Product Designer that focuses on creating engaging experiences for users through usability studies, UX strategy, and pixel-perfect UI Design.
My background is in engineering and analytics, which is why I'm focused on making decisions based on what data tells me. I found myself interested in games because of how people interact with these products. No one needs a game, we want them because the interaction is enjoyable. That also makes the work harder for the designer, a challenge I welcome and enjoy.
Currently, I'm pursuing my Masters of Fine Arts in Interactive and Game Design from Savannah College of Art and Design.
