About Me

I’ve always held an interest in creative arts that allowed me the space to engage my imagination. As a kid, I loved to draw comics. I remember spending hours in my room, drawing and crafting stories through my drawings. Later, I would delve into photography and videography. While it was fun to take meaningful photos and spend time in the dark room, I was more drawn to video tech. Coming up with a story, then shooting video and going through the editing process was incredibly rewarding. The final product was always amazing to see but I thoroughly enjoyed the process of putting it all together and collaborating with other students. My creative side then turned to music. I sang in the high school choir for 4 years and played the guitar/bass for various bands. This was where the concept of collaboration really sank in for me. Being able to work with other artists and create something together was a whole new skill in and of itself. This took teamwork and it took letting go of one’s ego to produce something that everyone could have a hand in. This also opened me up to constructive criticism. The more I went through it, the easier it was to let go of ideas that didn’t serve the larger whole.

My interests then turned to health and fitness. My ‘user interface’ wasn’t in the best shape and I decided to take control of this area by going through the process to develop myself externally and internally as well. Having studied kinesiology in college, I learned more about the body and later learned how to train others to use their bodies more efficiently. Having had a lot of customer experience, it felt natural to be able to guide others to help feel and be their best. Training and teaching others was largely fulfilling to me. I then took an interest in yoga and found myself to be a full-time yoga teacher before I knew it. This was a practice that spoke to me on many levels and felt like an intuitive next step. I’ve been teaching yoga for over 3 years now and have taught public classes, private sessions, workshops, and teacher trainings. More recently, I’ve gotten onto a platform that allows me to create video content. In 2020, StudioHop named me ‘Best Yoga Teacher’ in Austin, TX. It’s been a beautiful journey, to say the least. But, I knew I wanted to do more.

I started taking an interest in programming and learned a bit about HTML, CSS and JavaScript. While I enjoyed programming, I felt like it wasn’t my strong suit. I then was turned on to UX/UI design and it immediately jumped out at me. Learning about the process of design and using design tools has been so rewarding. I’m truly excited and passionate to learn more and to work alongside others creating thoughtful and intuitive designs.
