I am a UX Designer and college athlete dedicated to building reliable, functional systems that prioritize efficiency over flash. I apply a competitor’s discipline to creating zero-friction user experiences.

Background

I am a college tennis player from Boise, Idaho, and a dedicated sports enthusiast who has attended over 100 games across a wide variety of leagues and sports.

Why SCAD? Why UX?

I chose SCAD for its focus on real-world design and the chance to learn alongside people from every discipline. The UX program lets me turn research and empathy into products that actually help people—whether that's a better tour experience in Savannah or a clearer app flow.

Projects like Big Bus Savannah showed me how much impact design can have when it's grounded in user research and iteration. I'm here to keep building that kind of work.

Life at SCAD

Between classes and tennis, I'm deep in design challenges, team projects, and side work in photography and graphic design. Staying active in sports keeps me sharp and gives me a different lens on teamwork and iteration—both on and off the court.

So What's Next?

I'm focused on finishing strong at SCAD, growing my portfolio with more case studies, and looking for opportunities to bring UX research and design into real products. If you're working on something that could use a user-centered perspective, I'd love to connect.
