My story’s a wild ride: spent my college days charming customers (and secretly learning design).
Then I turned into a double agent, retail by day, freelance design superhero at night (seriously, sleep deprivation was my only enemy).
Turns out, all those skills – graphic design, web design, you name it – were like puzzle pieces waiting to click.
Enter UX/UI design – the missing piece! I finally realized that my skill set was practically screaming “Product Designer!”
Jack of all trades, master of some.
But wait, there’s more! The pandemic hit, and I decided to test my newfound UX powers. Launched a pop culture store, because why not?
Think lightsabers, helmets, magic staffs! Basically built the whole thing with duct tape, brainpower, and a lot of design magic.
Fast-forward to today, the store’s on autopilot (thanks, UX!), and I’m ready to lend my skills to the real world. That’s where you come in! Let’s chat – free coffee and design puns guaranteed (warning: they might be groan-worthy, but hey, at least they’re UX-cellent!).
Oh, and did I mention? I decided to take my design obsession to the next level and dive into an academic adventure! Enrolled in Technologies and Systems for the Web at ESMAD (fancy, right?), where I’m soaking up all things design, web, coding, and systems magic. It’s like unlocking a new skill tree in a video game, and I’m already leveling up faster than expected. From Python loops to crafting responsive designs, I’m basically gearing up to be a full-stack wizard. Bonus? It’s adding even more power-ups to my ever-growing skill set—ready to tackle any design or development challenge you throw my way!

Google UX Design
I earned the Google UX Design Professional Certificate by completing seven courses developed by Google. These courses included hands-on, practice-based assessments and were designed to prepare me for introductory-level roles in UX design. I mastered the entire design process from start to finish: empathizing with users, defining their pain points, brainstorming design solutions, creating wireframes and prototypes, and testing designs to gather valuable feedback.
