About

When I was in middle school, I began shooting portrait photography with my uncle's old Nikon D200. I loved the excuse it gave me to create, and I quickly became obsessed with the intersection between technology and art.

Nowadays, I'm a recent graduate of the University of Pittsburgh with a degree in Computer Science and Digital Narrative and Interactive Design (DNID). I just recently took up a role as a Business Systems Analyst at PNC Bank, which has allowed me to translate business needs into technical solutions through an empathetic lens. I have a passion for designing and building user experiences that feel delightful and seamless, and I'm always looking for new projects to work on when I have the time... (never)

Ultimately, I want to create websites that I could see myself using every day.
