A Bit About Me
I have been studying Industrial design for 8 years and have just completed my masters degree in summer of 2024, from the Maryland Institute College of Art, in Washington DC.
I earned my BA in Design with an emphasis in industrial design and Marketing from San Jose State University in San Jose, California in 2022.
I earned my AS in Industrial Design Engineering with a CSWA Solidworks Certificate from Mt. San Antonio College in Southern California in 2017.
​
​I found my entry to the design industry by making Vector Graphics as logos and UI/UX design by designing an app for a competition and building websites for local businesses in my community. After studying Industrial design in my undergrad, I transitioned to UI/UX design where I found my niche for digital product design. Currently, I am working on developing Websites and apps for local clients through my business ART Design.​
When studying for my masters, I worked seasonal retail jobs in my community as well as working with some local clients for my small business.
​
Outside the office I am an avid hiker and outdoors person always trying to take the scenic route. Right now my favorite activities are Indoor Bouldering, Film Photography and Cooking.
I enjoy activities that feed your soul and help push you in positive ways.
