About Me
My journey began in the visual arts, where I honed my eye for design and storytelling as a graphic designer. Creating visuals was rewarding, but I found myself increasingly drawn to the systems and logic behind the creative process. This curiosity led me to pivot from static design to dynamic, intelligent systems.
Now, pursuing a Master of Science in Information Systems with a focus on AI for Business Innovation at Georgia State University, I operate at the intersection of creative problem-solving and technical engineering. I don't just design interfaces; I build the AI-native workflows, RAG pipelines, and automated backends that power them.
From founding my own design studio to building AI inquiry management platforms and leading cross-functional teams creating multilingual AI video pipelines, my goal is to create products that are not only technically robust but also intuitively designed. I am currently seeking a role where I can leverage this unique blend of product sense and technical capability to build impactful software.
