I am currently a Graphic Design student at Ball State University, where I’m gaining hands-on experience through an apprenticeship with the Digital Corps. In this role, I collaborate with cross-disciplinary teams of designers, developers, and more to create a more user-centered solution. My work focuses on research-driven design, prototyping, and usability testing, these are skills that allow me to bridge creativity with functionality while designing meaningful user experiences.
