Born and Raised,

The Bay Area is where I spent most of my days.

My journey has been through my own polar technological experience which consisted of architecture, music production, audio engineering and the entrepreneurial aspect of running my own jewelry business. My heart initially chose these fields with love and passion, as they are tangible crafts but I ultimately found the reasoning behind all of them -

EMPATHY. 

Every aspect of my experiences consist of learning how to understand PEOPLE. My passion was born through their perspectives. Through communication, I’ve learned who they are, why and how they feel, their motivations and what their experiences are. Architecture aligns with community. Music production and audio engineering hears an artist’s life’s stories and emotions. Jewelry reveals sentiment and self-accomplishments. Empathy is a tool in its greatest form. 

I have been fortunate to be surrounded by loving and supportive family members and friends all my life. I learned through the hardships of supporting my family and providing home care for my late grandmother through years of sleepless nights. SHE has taught me the VALUE of People. 

My journey and life lessons are what brought me to UX Design. Struggles reveal problems and my solutions are what I’d love to share with the rest of you. 

Storytelling. 

I live vicariously through books – autobiographies, and memoirs in particular

Huge cinematic fanatic. If you love Interstellar, “Alright, Alright, Alright.” Or, join me in James Cameron’s world of Avatar.
