    - A sports app wireframe concept where the consumer can purchase nba apparel.

Education

Bachelors: Aug 2021 - Jun 2023
Masters: Aug 2023 - Jul 2024

I am a graduate student of Full Sail University’s Game Design Masters and Bachelors programs. I have learned how to create and design many distinct aspects of a video game. At the end of my Game Design Bachelor’s program, I had learned and taken interest in UI/UX for games.

Becoming a UX Researcher at the Full Sail UX Lab, I was able to understand how people think when playing games and how that affects their gaming experience.

Thanks to what I have learned from Full Sail University as a UI/UX Designer and UX Researcher, I am able to deliver efficient UI/UX Designs along with understand various flaws in my designs.
