About

I am a young determined mind who is driven by curiosity, passion, and enthusiasm. I bring an analytical perspective, problem solving, reflective, and reasoning skills, with strong proficiency in creative solutions. I have great desire to learn while being able to meet deadlines. Design is special to me because of the emotional impact we can have with products and what it can communicate. My best opportunity is working with others where my strengths are balanced with others while continuing to learn to broaden and refine my skill set. I always aim to be the best I can be and am happy to take on many roles to complete a task. I believe in mastery but find great enjoyment in learning new topics and subjects.
