My approach
My dual degree in Computer Science and Sociology, paired with a minor in Religion and concentration in Business, gives me a distinctive lens for understanding users and crafting meaningful digital experiences.
Each field of study contributes a critical perspective to how I approach UX/UI design—from the logical precision of code to the nuanced understanding of human and social behavior.
Major
The technical foundation that enables me to understand system architecture, think algorithmically, and bridge the gap between design vision and technical implementation. I can speak fluently with developers and build functional prototypes.
Major
Understanding people isn't optional in UX—it's everything. Sociology taught me to analyze group dynamics, recognize behavioral patterns, and design for diverse populations. I see users not just as data points, but as complex individuals.
Minor
Studying religion deepened my appreciation for cultural nuance, symbolic meaning, and the values that shape human experience. This perspective helps me design interfaces that respect diverse worldviews and create genuinely meaningful interactions.
Integrative Concentration
Great design must also be viable design. My business training ensures I understand market dynamics, stakeholder needs, and how to balance user delight with organizational goals. I design experiences that work for users and the bottom line.
UX/UI design sits at the intersection of technology, human behavior, cultural context, and business viability. My educational background isn't just diverse—it's strategically aligned with what great design demands.
When I approach a design challenge, I'm not just thinking about pixels and interactions. I'm considering the technical constraints, the human motivations, the cultural implications, and the business outcomes—all at once!
