What Makes Me Worth a Higher Salary

  • I generate measurable business results, not just ideas.
  • I understand both residential design execution and digital user experience.
  • I bring engineering-based systems thinking into design decisions.
  • I have strong client-facing experience, project coordination, and high-ticket sales performance.
  • I translate design into trust, profitability, and better customer outcomes.
  • I bring mature communication, leadership potential, and real-world problem solving.

About Me

My journey is what makes my design perspective different. I began with an engineering-oriented academic foundation, including early aerospace study and later network engineering coursework. That background trained me to think in systems, logic, structure, and precision.

I later moved deeper into digital and visual design, earning my Associate in Applied Science in Digital Design and completing UX/UI-focused coursework and certificate requirements. Through this path, I developed skills in interaction design, visual hierarchy, responsive web design, user-centered thinking, and digital storytelling.

In parallel, I built strong real-world experience in interior design, remodeling, flooring, tile, kitchen and bath solutions, materials, customer strategy, and project coordination. I have worked directly with homeowners, builders, installers, and vendors, which means I understand how design decisions affect budget, usability, trust, and final execution.

Today, I position myself as a hybrid designer: someone who can design homes, guide remodeling decisions, shape user experience, and connect aesthetics with systems, business goals, and real human needs.
