Education
From multimedia to HCI, my goal has always been to create things people like to engage with
My professional journey started at the University of Cincinnati, where I had intended to become an audio engineer, but left with a passion for web design. After leaving my undergrad and spending time working in advertising and startups, I decided to return to school for a Master of Human-Computer Interaction degree at Carnegie Mellon.
