Just a Minnesotan native, now exploring Boston! Studying computer science, economics, and design at Northeastern University.

I'm currently a UX Designer at Sandbox — crafting digital solutions that resonate with users on both functional and emotional levels.

At a young age, I was fascinated with technology and innovation. This led me to major in Computer Science and Economics, intending to pursue software engineering. However, I soon discovered my passion for hearing people's needs and using design to solve those needs, which led me to add a minor in Interaction Design.

From my coursework and certifications to extracurricular involvement, my career has been a journey of growth and learning. I love collaborating with users, clients, designers, and developers to constantly refine designs. Looking ahead, I'm excited to continue growing and pushing the boundaries of design innovation.


I am also interested in product management - view my product portfolio here :)
