The Human behind the designs

Advocate (INFJ-A)

🇧🇧🇵🇷 Brooklyn-born Caribbean-American passionate about cultural exchange and inclusive tech.

At WashU, I discovered human-centered design after taking Visual Principles of the Screen, which revealed how specific design choices can make or break your experience with technology.

I saw UX as a creative problem solving opportunity that integrates my passions, creating technology that respects both cognitive patterns and cultural diversity.

WHAT KEEPS ME GROUNDED

My Design Philosophy

Question everything, think revolutionarily

I don't accept briefs or feature requests at face value. I dig deeper to find real pain points, then think boldly about transformative solutions that could change industry standards.

Design without psychology is decoration

Understanding user behavior isn't a nice-to-have—it reduces risk. Good research saves time, money, and prevents designing the wrong solution.

Data-driven is out, data-informed is in

Hard data keeps us grounded in real problems, but if we only followed data, we'd have faster horses instead of cars. I practice data-informed design, balancing hard metrics with qualitative insights and intuition to innovate responsibly.

I am more than HCI!

As a self-proclaimed psychology nerd, I love learning about human behavior and cognitive patterns, weaving these insights into my everyday life.

Beyond academics, I served as the WashU Caribbean-American Students Association president, creating programming that blends my heritage with creative arts.

My study abroad experience at the University of Cape Town deepened my appreciation for Sub-Saharan African cultures and their diaspora in the Caribbean, Latin America and beyond.
