me

I’m a first year graduate student at DePaul University studying Human-Computer Interaction with a concentration in UX/UI Design.

Before that, I studied at the University of Florida where I graduated Suma Cum Laude in Anthropology with a minor in International Studies. I now reside in Washington D.C. where I interned at the Smithsonian Institution, and worked as a Social Media Manager.

I have always been intrigued in how people interact with each other and with technology. With a background in interest in graphic design, I thought I could combine the two!

Waze Improvements

Information Architecture Rework

To create a more streamlined and user friendly version of Waze, we redesigned the workflow of a target user’s interaction and expectation for the application. We added the ability to search for destinations using characteristics of the destination, and a more streamlined way for users to view and change their routes based on traffic or other impediments.
