🎭 The Story Behind the Screens
TODAY
I’m a Lead User Experience Designer at Northeastern University ITS, crafting seamless digital experiences and making the student hub more intuitive—one pixel at a time 🎨✨. With a Master’s in Information Systems, I blend research, design thinking, and problem-solving to create user-friendly interfaces. When I’m not designing, you’ll find me grinding through gaming marathons 🎮, exploring open-world adventures, or strategizing my next big win—because whether it’s UX or gaming, I love cracking complex problems and leveling up! 🚀🔥
Before I take you on the full journey of who I am, let’s rewind a bit and check out where I’ve studied and the adventures I’ve had in the working world! 🎓💼✨

Alright, enough about degrees and job titles—let’s not put you to sleep! 😴 Where was I? Oh yes, my childhood… 🎮⚽🏏
CHILDHOOD & GROWTH
I had a pretty normal childhood—except I was always running, kicking, or swinging at something! ⚽🏏 Football (soccer, for my American friends) and cricket were my go-to sports. If you don’t know cricket, think of baseball but with more strategy, a flat bat, and matches that can last five days (yes, really).
Beyond sports, my journey has been a series of transitions. I started off fascinated by biology, then shifted to electrical engineering ⚡, which sparked my interest in technology. That led me to frontend development, where I fell in love with bringing interfaces to life. But the real magic happened when I discovered UI/UX and product design—the perfect mix of creativity, problem-solving, and technology. If there's one thing life has taught me, it's this: growth is constant, and every transition is just another level in the game 🎮🚀.
GOAL
In the coming years, I see myself transitioning from UI/UX and Product Design to the world of Game Design 🎮🚀—one step at a time. My passion for gaming has grown over the years, and I’m excited to explore how I can craft immersive, interactive experiences. That doesn’t mean I love designing websites and digital products any less—it’s just a personal goal to expand my creativity and problem-solving into a new realm. For now, I’m leveling up my skills, building a strong foundation, and preparing for the next big quest! 🎨✨
Made it to the end? You’re awesome! 🙌 I’m open to full-time Product/UX Design roles—based in Mountain View, CA, but ready to relocate wherever great design calls! 🚀
