Since I was young, I have been known to have a boundless imagination. I enjoy making craft projects out of scrap items, the most notable of which was a life-size, interactive car made entirely out of construction paper when I was nine.

Those who know me are well aware of my big heart. I take on the feelings of others as if they are my own, and have an innate ability to meaningfully connect with and understand others on an emotional level. I have learned to use this strength in my design, as most of my projects are driven by feeling and a desire to make as many people feel accounted for as possible.

Along with empathy, I have the ability to thoroughly communicate my thoughts and ideas across several different mediums. One of my strongest forms of communication is writing; I have considered being an author a few times, but find myself much more driven to pursue design.

I have always been described as a fast learner. It takes me very little time to become proficient at new skills, whether it be a new software program or a hobby. This strength makes my workflow much more efficient, as I find most programs and the like to be very intuitive.

One of my greatest strengths is my open mind and willingness to accept and embrace new ideas. I am able to flow with change rather than fight against it, and oftentimes find myself itching to push change forward.
