Creative
Technologist

I have a hard time defining myself. I'm a designer, developer, and general technology tinkerer. My hobby is discovering interesting technology and seeing what I can build with it. With over 15 years of experience blending human-centered design with cutting-edge technology, I specialize in crafting innovative digital experiences that bridge the gap between creativity and technical possibilities.

As a creative technologist, I've evolved from UX designer to engineer to accessibility advocate. I transform complex technical challenges into intuitive, scalable solutions through design thinking, development expertise, and AI-driven innovation.

I hold an MS in Human-Computer Interaction and am currently pursuing an MS in Artificial Intelligence. My CPACC (Certified Professional in Accessibility Core Competencies) certification ensures that innovation remains inclusive and accessible to all users.
