My passion for technology and design began back in the good old days of Windows Movie Maker and Kid Pix. I didn’t know at the time design could actually become a career until my parents found the School of Information and suggested I check it out. It was previously named School of Library Science and I love to read so I read up and applied. Now here I am, a full-time designer wishing I could go back and tell myself that everything would work out just fine. Throughout my time at the University of Michigan, I learned about the importance of inclusive design and how good design can change the world we live in. I took classes that focused on both users and technical skills to implement the designs we create. I strive to produce products that can have that effect on the world around me. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, playing volleyball, exploring the outdoors and spending time with my family and friends.
