I am a Product Designer with a keen eye for detail, a reliable ear for listening, a quick-witted curiosity, and a passion for learning. My background in Industrial Design has given me the experience to assess problems from a researched and unbiased lens, recognize concerns in need of solutions, and marry my creative senses with my logical mind. My approach to problem-solving is rooted in information and listening, which helps me create intuitive designs that users don't have to think twice about.As a hardworking and intuitive individual, I am proficient in Figma and many Adobe programs. I've been called a talented communicator and an incredibly dedicated individual (not just by my mom). When given an assignment, I take the time to research the field I'm working in and to understand what I'll aim to create. Product Design is not just about idealism but also about getting things done, so I prioritize my soft and hard skills. Even projects that may seem prosaic, such as redesigning a dashboard, present an opportunity to improve a user's experience. Currently, I am working as an Interaction Design Intern at Code and Theory and enjoy staying up-to-date with design trends through conversation and networking.I'm a serial skill learner, constantly looking to improve my marketing skills, visual acumen, and knowledge of design tools to hone my UX methodologies. I'm seeking to grow my creative network and orient myself along an action-based team. The world will only grow more intertwined with technology, and I aim to craft conversations that better my understanding of the ever-growing product design industry.
