I’m a Computer Science graduate based in Dallas, Texas seeking a position as a UX Designer. With over a decade of experience working in agile environments, I’ve successfully overseen countless projects from the initial planning + design stages all the way to the first stages of development and testing.
What makes me different? Well, unlike other designers, I tend to keep a very close relationship with the front-end development team. If the final product is not up to my standards or the design deviates too much from my initial mockups, I make it my mission to fix those discrepancies before going into testing. I’m kind of infamous for this, but that’s the price one pays for hiring a perfectionist like myself.
Skills
Please try to enjoy each skill equally.While my main design tool of choice is Figma, I have experience in various different design tools, including the ever-popular Sketch for Mac. With my experience building websites, I am forever proficient in the three fundamental languages of front-end development: HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.

Education
Gig 'Em Aggies!That's right, I am the loudest and proudest member of the Fighting Texas Aggie Class of 2018! I received my Bachelor of Science degree in Computer Science by the Texas A&M University College of Engineering with a Minor in Graphic Design on 08/10/2018.
Lead a team of designers for five years at Copart, a global online vehicle auction platform that specializes in the sale of used, salvage, and insurance vehicles. Was in charge of designing and maintaining the Copart UI Library, the company's first design system, created by my design team back in 2022. The goal for Copart UI was to standardize the overall look and feel of every internal application inside Copart's back-end portal and to have a library of read-to-go components for the front-end devs.

Portfolio
Hey Recruiters!I've been in the business for over a decade now, so I completely understand that reading case studies isn't the most exciting thing in the world (it's not the funnest process for us designers either). So for your convenience, these case studies are short and straight to the point—each around a 4 minute reading time.
