UI/ UX Designer & Entreprenuer
"If I had asked them what they wanted, They would have said faster horses."- Henry Ford
who am i
Im a cognitive science student with a unparraleled enthusiasm for user interfaces and aesthetic, yet functional designs. It shouldn't only look good, but it should feel good and cognitive mechanisms can help.
Entrepreneurship has been a big part of my journey. I've started multiple businesses from selling toys at the Flea Market to prototyping, 3d printing (manufacturing), marketing, and fulfilling orders in a reptile product business. These experiences have taught me a lot about design and business in the real world.
Now, I apply my expanding knowledge and energy to blend cognitive sciences and entreprenuership into UI/UX, Digital Design, Website design, and much more.
