My design path throughout the past few years has taken me for quite a ride. I originally began my journey at Miami undeclared, and most of my beginning classes were focused on fine arts. This helped me acquire considerable design knowledge as I dealt with numerous forms of art and the experience of using a variety of mediums.
As I got more comfortable within the college atmosphere, I knew I wanted to focus on more UI/UX design, which is why I decided to receive my degree in Emerging Tech. This began my passionate journey into the virtual world.
During my senior year at Miami, I was an Assistant Creative Director for Beige Cashmere, which is a L.A. based content production company. I was able to work with other people, both remote as well as face to face on multiple projects involving graphic design, social media marketing, project management, and most importantly, UI/UX research & design. Both my path and this opportunity proved to me one thing... I want to be a part of the digital future.
