About Me
With a background rooted in Geographic Information Systems, I spent nearly a decade working with geospatial data, mapping solutions, and database systems that support real-world decision making.
From there, I transitioned into software development through Operation Spark, where I gained hands-on training in modern web technologies and full-stack development. That shift opened the door to a more creative and product-focused path, blending design, functionality, and user experience.
Today, I'm a Project Manager & Lead Designer, working across web and web app development. I focus on UX/UI direction, content and copy strategy, SEO, and overall project flow, making sure ideas move from concept to launch with purpose and clarity. I enjoy working in the space where design, marketing, usability, and smart development meet.
Always learning, always building, and always looking for new ways to make digital experiences simpler, cleaner, and more effective.
