About

I genuinely love designing.

Proudly based in Chicago, I'm a bilingual UI/UX designer passionate about designing with empathy. Some of my interests: video games, science-fiction, photography, shoes, & graffiti.
beginnings

Born & raised in Chicago.

I graduated from the American Academy of Art in 2016 with a BFA in Web Design. A few months later, I found a role as a UX/UI designer at Logical Media group. I was mentored by my supervisor and great friend Chris Singleton. For the next 5 years, I would go on to be a part of the web design team and lead many website projects in different industries along with my friends Chris S., Ray L., Jeremy C. & Steven B.
Fast forward to 2023, 8 years of experience, one being at the OCC contributing to the design system as well as designing applications that form a crucial part of the financial industry. Fun fact: the OCC is assigned the role of a SIFMU, a systematically important financial market utility. Regulated by the SEC, it's a pivotal piece of the U.S. financial system.
