Welcome to my corner of the internet — grab a cup, explore my work, and stay awhile. ☕

Your Screening Questions, are answered here

Find quick answers to the most common questions you must have about me.

How do I handle feedback during the design process?

I focus on understanding the perspective behind the feedback and avoid taking it personally. I break it down into smaller, manageable parts and turn them into actionable tasks, which I tackle one at a time during sprints.

Do I have experience with agile or fast-paced environments?

Yes, I’ve worked in agile, fast-paced environments where I managed multiple projects at once. I’m detail-oriented and prioritize tasks based on deadlines to ensure high-quality delivery.

How do I stay inspired and up-to-date as a designer?

I stay current by reading design blogs and listening to podcasts. Recently, I’ve also started using NotebookLM to extract and organize insights, which helps me digest new ideas more effectively.

Are you authorized to work in the U.S., and what is your visa situation?

Yes, I’m authorized to work in the U.S. I’m on an F1 visa and will graduate in May 2026. Then I will be on my STEM OPT. I will require sponsorship afterward.

Where am I currently located? Are you open to relocation?

I’m currently based in Bloomington, Indiana. I’m open to relocation and happy to discuss terms.

What makes me different from other candidates applying for this role?
