About Me

Hello, I am a 21 year old User Experience Design major and I live in Manito, Illinois. I may be in the UX program but I also have a very strong passion for illustration and animation, both of which I am currently teaching myself outside of classes. I desire to use both my artistic and UX/UI skills to help make the world a better place.

Featured Projects


Toys by Charcoal

Toys by Charcoal

At a previous art class in 2019 we were all assigned to make a charcoal art piece referencing childhood toys/cherished objects of our choice. I arranged the toys for a good composition, sketched with pencil, then finished the piece with my charcoal.

UX Empathy Chart

UX Empathy Chart

On this current semester in my User Experience Design class we were assigned to build an empathy map as part of our process to design an app. Using our template I filled it up with thoughts, feelings, what my persona hears and sees, what my users says and does, and lastly their pains and gains. This step was essential to designing my app because I need to get an understanding of what kind of people my users may be.

The Dirt Factory

The Dirt Factory

This is a photo I took in summer 2019 at an abandoned building in Manito, IL that the locals call the "dirt factory". The camera I used was my Moto z3 and then edited with Adobe Lightroom.
