Passion Projects

Collaborative learning projects initiative where you can join, try, and give feedback. Let’s create meaningful educational experiences together!

Math Master

Math Master is my project where I designed a fun way for kids to practice math while learning strategy and confidence. It will continue to evolve with your feedback.

I’m a UX/Product Designer who turns early-stage ideas into intuitive, scalable digital products that balance user needs, market standards, and business goals.

At the CREM Center (UMBC), I design user-centered solutions across domains—from research-based flows to complete design systems—and explore how AI can enhance digital experiences meaningfully.

Previously, I worked with startups like Hypnotes and Zolta.io, shaping product strategy and end-to-end user journeys. My background in architecture still shapes my systems thinking and attention to human scale.

Outside of work, I’m a mom, a coffee lover, and a planter who shares a home with my husband, our curious child, and our rescued rabbit, Cooper.

I design with structure and heart—because good design doesn’t just work; it resonates.
