I would end up there for ten years. While working with family can be difficult, the customer service aspect was always

enjoyable to me. After some time, understanding each type of person, what type of customer they will be, and what they will need has become second nature. Little did I know this period would end up acting as one long case study for my future career in UX design.



In 2020 I joined UX academy and began a more deep exploration of research and design. While I enjoy all aspects of the process, working with the project from early competitor analysis, all the way through to final design, my strength is certainly as a designer. I utilize my strong understanding of people to craft clean and clear designs that are consistently seamless for users while still immersing the consumer in the unique world of the product.
