About

Hey there! Get to know more about this accountant-turned-designer & developer! Professional summary to the left, and skills to the right.

Designer w/ Dev Chops 🦄

I'm a versatile creative developer based in Vancouver, Washington, who has built and designed a variety of awesome things at Silvertrek. These include an app for construction mechanics and equipment managers, a revamped website, and marketing collateral. With a background in UX, front-end development, and marketing, I bring a unique blend of creativity and technical expertise to every project.

I focus on practicality and feasibility to bring solutions to life, so I dabble a lot with front-end development & Figma. This unique super skill set allows me to collaborate easily with developers to ensure that we create is effectively shipped.

Overall, I'm always thinking about how to strategically improve designs and processes, helping businesses achieve their goals while prioritizing user experience.

On a personal note, some of my favorite hobbies include playing video games, reading psychology articles, and watching anime. While you're still here, check out my resume to see my accomplishments!
