About Me

As a UI/UX Designer in Texas, I blend my lifelong background in art with modern technology. Drawing and painting since childhood led me naturally to design. I stay connected to the tech community through women's conferences and draw inspiration from my travels, particularly exploring art and culture in Europe. My work combines artistic sensibility with digital innovation.
