Marriott Homes and Villas Case Study: This project gave me the chance to apply my coding skills in a real-world context while working through a streamlined product development process. I gained experience beyond just front-end development by diving into user research, thinking through product decisions, and seeing how engineering, design, and product management come together to build digital solutions. It deepened my understanding of how collaborative, user-centered digital products are made. View the project here.
Netflix Random Show Generator: This project involved building a feature that suggests random shows based on user input. I worked within a pre-existing codebase, writing JavaScript functions that responded to dropdown selections and dynamically updated the page content. Users could filter by genre or choose an entirely random option. This project helped me sharpen my skills in conditional logic, event handling, and DOM manipulation, while also giving me a better sense of how interactive features can improve user experience.

airbnb Search and Filter Prototype: In this project, I built a functional prototype for a search and filter feature inspired by Airbnb’s user interface. I implemented JavaScript functions to filter listings based on city, price range, and type of place using arrays, conditionals, and nested loops. This project helped me gain confidence in writing modular code and reinforced the power of simple logic to drive dynamic user experiences. It was a key step in learning how to make web apps more responsive and user-friendly. View the project here.
Mad Libs Game: For this project, I created a Mad Libs–style game that lets players input random words to generate funny, dynamic stories. It was a fun way to put my JavaScript skills into practice, especially working with strings, variables, and user input. I focused on building a smooth, interactive experience while reinforcing core concepts like DOM manipulation and string interpolation. This project gave me a creative outlet to apply what I’d learned in a playful and engaging way. View the game here.
This mind map outlines the core functions and design principles behind 'Studdy Buddy,' a conceptual productivity app for students. It explores user needs, key features, and potential interface flows in a visually organized format.
These hand-drawn app icon sketches were part of a graphic communications assignment focused on visual storytelling. The designs explore shape, symbolism, and clarity to represent core app functions at a glance.
LabelLord 2.3 is a labeling robot I designed and built using TinkerCAD as part of a collaborative engineering project. Working with my team, we identified a real-world packaging problem and developed a system of automated robots to solve it. This robot was my individual contribution to the system, featuring a servo-based labeling mechanism and sensor-triggered automation. View the design here.
This TinkerCAD simulation showcases the electronic circuit and Arduino code I developed for LabelLord 2.3. The circuit integrates ultrasonic and IR sensors with a servo motor to create a responsive labeling system. I wrote the control logic in Arduino, enabling automated package detection and label application. View the simulation here.
I’m a curious and driven aspiring UX designer who sees every project and challenge as an opportunity to learn and grow. My journey, from earning a GED to maintaining a 4.0 GPA at Arizona State, reflects a deep commitment to my education. I also believe in the power of persistence. I’ve worked hard to be where I am, and I carry that same determination into every part of my design work.
I’m passionate about creating digital experiences that are thoughtful, intuitive, and grounded in real user needs. With a strong foundation in front-end web development and a design thinking mindset, I approach problems with empathy, creativity, and strategic focus.
I’m constantly seeking out new tools, methods, and ideas to improve my work and myself. More than anything, I care about building things that are both functional and meaningful, and I’m always ready to keep learning along the way.

Marcus Aurelius inspires me through his commitment to living with discipline, clarity, and purpose, even while carrying the weight of an empire. His 'Meditations' taught me that real strength comes from within, and that character is shaped not by comfort, but by how we respond to difficulty. His stoic mindset reminds me to stay grounded, act with integrity, and focus on what I can control, no matter the chaos around me.
Benjamin Franklin inspires me through his relentless pursuit of knowledge, innovation, and personal growth. His ability to blend scientific curiosity with civic responsibility shows the power of intellectual versatility. Franklin reminds me that constant learning and adaptability are key to creating a meaningful life and leaving a positive impact on the world.
Edgar Allan Poe inspires me through his fearless exploration of the human mind and emotions. His writing shows the depth and complexity that art can capture, even in darkness. Poe reminds me that creativity often comes from embracing, not avoiding, life’s more difficult questions and that authentic expression can leave a lasting legacy.
