I am a Haitian-American, user experience designer currently
living in Boston, MA.
I graduated from Syracuse University with a B.F.A degree in Communications Design. During my time there I developed skills in branding, packaging, publication design, information design, and advertising. I learned the ability to strategically think in design and marketing terms and in turn, created solutions through my own creative direction.
I quickly gained a love for user experience design when I discovered my superpower; solving problems. I have learned the importance of empathizing with all human experiences and designing products that make a difference. I bring passion to the designs I create and hope to leave a positive impact on the people I design for by contributing to conversations within the industry.
A bit about me.
