What a journey, huh?


I am a kind-hearted & conscientious person compelled to use my strong sense of empathy & people-first design thinking to effectively tend to front-end points of friction.

 

Like with my design process, I note what constraints or accommodations I have to work with and adapt the experience to preserve the dignity of those I help with my day to day efforts.

Without further ado, here are my top 3 projects representing what I can learn & do as an Interaction Designer:
