I’m a Los Angeles visual designer with experience in UX/UI, graphic, media and web.

The onset of the pandemic presented unexpected challenges for people worldwide, myself included Like many, I grappled with intense feelings of fear and anxiety. Despite the daunting circumstances, I made a bold decision to return to school to pursue my passion in the design industry. This transformative journey has not been merely about acquiring technical skills; it’s about my resilience, determination, and seizing opportunities in the face of uncertainty. I am someone who is committed to turn life’s challenges into triumphs and to inspire others to do the same. This video was made during our collective lockdown. As part of a school project, I was challenged to create, arrange, and edit a story working within specific guidelines that required the use of stock images, video, and music.
