Experienced UI/UX Designer | Music Industry
With a Bachelor of Arts in Media Arts & Technology from Michigan State University and a recent certification in UX/UI Design from Springboard, I bring a diverse skill set to the table. As a UI/UX Designer at Union, I designed and shipped software for multiple desktop and mobile products, creating prototypes, wireframes, storyboards, sitemaps, and hi-fidelity screen flows. My freelance experience at Erik Zinkel Design involved delivering UI/UX experiences for mobile apps and websites. At Riff Official, I collaborated on a concept rework for an existing web platform. Previously, as a Music Coordinator at Music Supervisor Inc., I honed my skills in the sync and licensing industry. As the General Manager of The Moroccan Lounge, I successfully opened and managed a 250-person capacity music venue. My expertise spans design, management, and music, making me a versatile professional.
