About me

Whisks to wireframes.

After 10+ years in hospitality operations — from executive pastry chef to restaurant manager — I traded whisks for wireframes. But my philosophy stayed the same: solve real problems, obsess over details, and never settle for good enough.

I'm a UX/UI designer and systems builder who bridges the gap between how people work and the tools they use to do it. I've built a live AWS-backed staff management portal, designed full brand identities for real clients, and shipped work across Figma, HTML/CSS/JS, and cloud infrastructure — all while running a restaurant.

Currently completing my BS in UX Design at WGU and currently in a paid UX internship that started in June 2026. When I'm not designing, you can still find me in the kitchen — old habits die hard.
