Front-End Solutions Specialist

Bridging Design, Technology & User Experience

Starting out in print design, I built a strong foundation in visual storytelling and brand communication before transitioning into UI/UX and front-end development. My background blends front-end development, UX strategy, and digital workplace support, giving me a unique ability to bridge creative teams and IT infrastructure.

I’ve developed and led digital initiatives for agencies, healthcare clients, and enterprise environments — supporting everything from web applications to mobile and collaboration technologies. I’m known for clear communication, strong attention to detail, and a proactive approach to solving complex user and system challenges.

Always learning and adapting, I strive to deliver experiences that make technology more human, intuitive, and effective.
