Who is this guy?
Born and raised in Orange County, California, I came to Minnesota for college in search of a completely new environment. I got what I came for and have been here ever since! While I now appreciate the true difference of seasons in the Midwest, I do miss hanging out at the beach in January.
I am now a Minneapolis-based Experience Designer. My journey started while working as an exhibit and educational product designer in the museum industry. My enthusiasm for creating engaging, interactive STEM learning experiences led me to consider how I could continue to grow as a designer - not just in the physical space, but also in the digital space. During the Covid-19 global pandemic, I completed a UX/UI certification program to further develop my design skills. I’ve since been able to apply these skills towards digital specific products as well as create intuitive yet enjoyable experiences across digital and physical touchpoints.
I love watching and playing soccer/futbol. I also enjoy spending time with my dogs, watching Shark Tank, exploring new cuisines, and traveling as much as I can.
