Major: Communications

Path: Interactive Media

Passion: Storytelling + Design

I'm a UX/UI designer from Franklin, North Carolina, where growing up meant being creative with whatever you had. My mom is the person who showed me what design really feels like. She sewed my clothes, made Cricut projects, and always found ways to make life feel special even when money was tight. That's where my interest in design and storytelling really began.

At UNC I'm a first-generation student studying Media and Journalism, Communication, and Information Science. I've found my place in the mix of visual design, coding, and building things that feel personal instead of generic. I love taking an idea and shaping it into something easy to use, calming, and memorable.

A lot of my work comes from wanting people to feel understood. Whether I'm designing graphics for Carolina Covenant, photographing cars for Carolina Cars Club, or coding simple websites like my Formula 1 project, I want everything I make to feel intentional.

My goal is to create designs that feel intuitive, fun, and rooted in real experiences. I love learning, experimenting, and turning small ideas into something that actually connects with people.
