ABOUT

My passion lies in the intersection of education and games, creating visually captivating interfaces and elevating overall user digital experiences.

I hold a Bachelor of Science in Biology from the University of Houston and began my career teaching Biology and Physics through the teachHouston program. While I found joy in the classroom, I was ultimately drawn to a more creative path—UI/UX Design. Today, I bring together my analytical mindset and artistic curiosity to design intuitive, user-centered experiences. My background in education allows me to empathize deeply with users, communicate ideas clearly, and anticipate needs with intention.

Outside of design, I find joy in spending time with my family—especially babysitting my nieces and nephews on weekends. I’m always exploring new hobbies, from reading, drawing, and cooking to learning how to code with the dream of one day building my own game. I also love trying new games—strictly for research purposes, of course. 🙂

I’m especially passionate about skincare, medicine, education, and gaming—industries that have fascinated me since childhood. My goal is to contribute meaningfully to projects in these spaces, while continuing to grow as a designer through hands-on learning and collaboration.

I’m also a proud pet parent to a rescue dog and two rabbits. Whether I’m designing, drawing, or caring for animals, I approach each experience with curiosity, care, and a commitment to continuous improvement.

Below, you’ll find a selection of my artworks and a link to my very first game jam submission—a collaborative project with a small team of developers and artists. I created the cover art and most of the pixel furniture and room designs. While we didn’t complete the game within the four-day timeframe, it was incredibly rewarding to see people enjoy what we made. I’m already looking forward to the next one—and how much more we’ll grow.
