UX Researcher & Designer

I'm a recent grad with a degree in Computer Science and Cognitive Science-HCI from UCSC. Currently, I am looking for freelance UX/UI opportunities to grow as a designer. I love telling and showcasing people's stories and want to help create fun and positive experiences for users. I have worked as a UX Researcher/Designer from nonprofits all the way to internships. I hope I can help be a part of making the digital web more simple, clean, and effective while advocating for inclusion and accessibility. Please reach out if you have any entry-level/junior user research & design roles.
