I am an established illustrator, experienced administrator and aspiring UX/UI designer. A passionate learner who constantly seeks new knowledge to elevate her skill set. I have a unique skillset that ranges from administration experience, data analysis, visual design and content creation. I have worked on a number of projects, from web design, branding, print and commissioned illustration work.
I have always been extremely passionate about design, which coupled with enthusiasm for my personal growth, brings a unique blend of technical skills and creativity. I love to create meaningful and impactful designs, as well as connecting with people through content creation.
I am also very interested in accessibility in design, as I believe everyone should have access to resources that can help them in every day life.
