My Story
Past
Bachelor of Science in Agriculture, minor in Biology, specializing in Range & Wildlife Management from Texas A&M University at Kingsville.
Embarked on my professional journey at Texas A&M Research Station, where I engaged in qualitative and quantitative analysis of animal wildlife
20-Year Retail Journey: Transitioned to retail with roles at Office Max, Bed Bath & Beyond, culminating as Store Manager at Michaels Arts & Crafts. Developed critical thinking, empathy, and business acumen.
Present
I've had the unique privilege of moderating content for Dannydinosaur, a content creator at Dinoworld Productions. This experience immersed me in a vibrant gaming community, providing invaluable insights into the gaming industry and underscoring the pivotal role UX/UI design plays within it.
This exposure not only heightened my inspiration as a designer but also fueled my enthusiasm for integrating gamification into my future projects.
As a committed UX Designer, my skills were honed through intensive training at Designlab.com, equipping me to optimize user experiences. My passion lies in creating intuitive and aesthetically pleasing designs that seamlessly blend form and function.
Delving into the intricacies of user-centered design, I've mastered the art of empathizing with users to deliver solutions that not only meet but exceed their expectations.
Why Design?
Design is my authentic expression of strength and passion, an art that resonates deeply with the heart. Fueled by an unwavering commitment to seamless product discovery, I go beyond aesthetics, creating experiences that simplify and resonate on a meaningful level. Immersed in user engagement, I understand needs beyond the surface and use critical thinking to craft designs that are both aesthetically pleasing and functionally efficient.
Grounded in the practicalities of the business world, I bring business acumen to ensure designs align with broader strategic goals. In essence, my design journey blends resilience, passion, and a dedication to crafting experiences that connect with the heart, leaving a lasting imprint on the user's journey.
This is why I design – to infuse products with purpose, elevate the ordinary, and contribute to a world where design genuinely enriches lives.

Self Care
Nature Walks
On my days off, I genuinely love taking casual walks with my husband and our dogs. The parks around Austin,Tx are just beautiful, and it's become our thing to explore them together. It's not some grand adventure, but it's real and relaxing—just me, my husband, and our fur babies. Honestly, those moments of self-care, just soaking in the simplicity, are what I treasure the most.
Baking
I genuinely love baking, especially during the bustling holiday season. The best part for me? Seeing the smiles on the faces of those around me when they get a surprise treat during the holidays. It's those simple moments of making others happy that truly warm my heart.
Quilting
Within the last two years I learned how to quilt, mostly self taught. I love working with selecting colors, styles, and shapes. Planning it out is key and color coordinating is vital for the visual affects that are created. Much like UI design!
Paper Crafting
Paper crafting is my ultimate creative passion. Coordinating colors, weaving pieces, and shaping something from nothing is incredibly rewarding. It's not just a relaxing hobby; it's a therapeutic escape that eases tension by pulling the mind in a different, more beautiful direction
Jewelry Making
This is another favorite past time I enjoy emerging myself in. I love researching ideas, planning out, and sketching what I want my end product to look like. Piecing everything together and bringing my vision to fruition is the absolute best feeling. I liken this to UI design.
Gaming
I've recently rediscovered my love for gaming, thanks to The Legend of Zelda series, especially Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom. Engaging with the gaming community, I'm currently moderating for a popular content creator who streams “The Legend of Zelda” franchise games. This experience has not only rekindled my passion for gaming but also sparked new insights into UX/UI design, observing how technology seamlessly blends with user experience in the gaming world. Excited to explore these intersections further!
