About Me
My Design Journey
At Rice University, I forged my own path to UX, thriving in discomfort and learning from every environment. With a background in Cognitive Science and Engineering Design—and as a First-Gen student and Latina—I bring empathy and a commitment to designing for inclusivity and accessibility.
What am I like as a Designer?
I’m a hands-on designer who loves every step of the process, from research to delivery. At Rice, I mentored designers, led workshops, and led teams—experiences that taught me the value of helping others grow. I aim to expand access to design education and increase awareness of its positive impact.
Why Design?
Growing up, creating wasn’t just a hobby; it was my livelihood. Though I started as a bioengineering major, I found my true calling in UX Design—combining creativity with the chance to help people. Since Rice didn’t offer a UX curriculum, I built my own path through courses, designathons, and hands-on learning.
What about outside of design?
In my free time, you can definitely find me baking, crocheting, and reading. When I can, I love to travel. I lived in Rome for 4 months, so (please, I beg of you) ask me about it!
