Graphic Design Graduate | UI/UX Designer

With a Bachelor of Arts in Graphic Design from California Polytechnic State University, I have a strong foundation in design principles and user experience. As a UI/UX Designer at Double Black Ski, I developed website and mobile redesigns, aligning business strategy with design and creating user flows. Previously, at Nordstrom, I excelled as a Barista and Social Media Coordinator, promoting specials through engaging social media content. My experience as a Server at SLO Provisions honed my customer service and multitasking abilities. As a Graphic Designer for CP Mustang News, I collaborated on various design projects, showcasing my proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite. Additionally, my role as a Host at Tahoe Joe's, Inc. enhanced my interpersonal and organizational skills. I am passionate about creating meaningful and impactful designs that resonate with users.

Projects

Jam Bands

Jam Bands is an app designed to allow users to purchase in-person and live-stream concert tickets. The app lets users live-stream concerts in the comfort of their own homes for those who cannot attend or afford in-person concerts. Users can follow and stay up to date with their favorite artists while connecting with other users who share similar artists. The task was to design a user-friendly app for those who enjoy music and want to be able to stay updated on concerts and news, connect with friends, and can purchase different kinds of concert tickets on a budget.See More

Lollybucks

Lolly Bucks is an application that lets you scan and store all of your gift cards on a mobile device so users can use them in one place. Users can manually scan gift cards they receive, gift others gift cards by purchasing through the application, and trade gift cards with other users for a different gift card of the same amount. The task was to design a user-friendly app for those who enjoy purchasing gift cards and reducing plastic waste.See More
