The Art of Visual Precision

My background in Fine Arts isn't just a hobby; it’s my lifelong passion and the foundation of my design philosophy. Holding a Master’s Degree in Studio Art, I bring a sophisticated understanding of color theory, spatial hierarchy, and composition that goes far beyond the basics. I don't just "place" elements on a screen; I curate them to guide the user's eye and evoke specific emotional responses. This academic rigor allows me to create interfaces that aren't just functional, but visually balanced and polished to a professional standard.

The Empathy of a Beverage Director

Transitioning from a career as a Beverage Director and Bar Manager, I bring a unique, high-level perspective on "The User Experience." In hospitality, my job was to anticipate needs before they were even voiced, a direct parallel to intuitive UX design. Managing high-pressure environments and diverse personalities taught me deep empathy and the ability to solve problems on the fly. I understand that a digital product, much like a physical space, must be accessible, welcoming, and designed with the person on the other side of the bar (or screen) as the top priority.

A Strategic, Multidisciplinary Approach

This blend of artistic mastery and operational leadership makes me a uniquely versatile candidate. I approach Product Design with the eye of an artist and the heart of a service professional. My training at CareerFoundry has given me the technical toolkit to bridge these worlds, allowing me to translate complex business requirements into elegant, user-centric solutions. I am ready to bring this multidisciplinary edge to a forward-thinking team as a freelancer, contractor, or full-time designer.
