The Facts:
Hi there! I’m located in San Antonio, TX, and am working as a senior experience designer at USAA. I have ~7 years of working experience in industries ranging from advertising to higher education to insurance. I have worked as a marketing coordinator, graphic designer, web designer, and front-end developer. I discovered my passion for User Experience (UX) and User Interface (UI) while working at the SaaS start-up Enflux. While working for that company, I got to dip my toe into UX design and instantly wanted to jump in.
I graduated from the University of the Incarnate Word with a BFA in Graphic Design, with minors in both Marketing and Art History. I completed a UX/UI Certification from the University of Texas at San Antonio.

The Fun Facts:
I was born and raised in San Antonio, TX, and developed a passion for the arts from a young age. Like many designers today, creativity was how I explored the world and developed my understanding of the things around me. I was constantly drawing or crafting something new. I probably filled up hundreds of sketchbooks in my spare time with my creations, but it wasn't until a study abroad trip to Paris in 2014 that I realized that art and design were passions that I could turn into a career.
Along with my passion for art and design, I love to spend my spare time cooking and baking (all vegan, of course)! The best thing I've created (in the kitchen) was probably for this past Galentine's Day. I made a red velvet cake layered with cream cheese frosting and raspberry jam, topped with raspberry macarons–all vegan! When I'm not in the kitchen, you can typically find me at a concert, a tattoo shop, or a hair salon. I love spending time outdoors, getting some much-needed sunshine and fresh air. At the moment of typing this, I have 13 tattoos and my hair is purple, but I can't guarantee that will be how I look six months from now as I'm constantly changing things up.
Creativity runs through my veins. I am extremely passionate about all aspects of my life and bring determination and positivity to everything I do.
