In my UX work, I bring the depth of reflection I learned through my early encounters with typography and influential design mentors into every project. “The Graphic Edge” and the impact of visionaries like April Greiman, David Carson, Wolfgang Weingart, and Paula Scher taught me to view design not only as a medium for user expression but as a mirror for self-exploration and cultural examination. This perspective allows me to approach UX design with a nuanced sensitivity to the unspoken emotional and social layers in user needs.

Each project becomes a bridge between user requirements and deeper societal elements, such as identity, privilege, mental health, and belonging, infusing design solutions with empathy and authenticity. By integrating this self-aware approach, I aim to create interfaces that resonate with users on a more intrinsic level, fostering interactions that are meaningful and relevant beyond mere functionality. This balance of introspection and user focus guides my design process, resulting in experiences that speak to the complexity of human needs and the subtleties of perception.
