Get to Know Me Through My Work!

As a Student Assistant in the Human Resources department at Miami University, I saw opportunities to apply my design skills in a non-design role. By creating resources and improving workflows, I helped make my colleagues’ jobs a little easier—and brought design thinking into unexpected places.”

What started as a class project turned into a two-year journey: our group designed a mobile-friendly website that highlights the local history of Freedom Summer at Miami University through real archival materials. This capstone pushed me to grow—not just as a designer, but as a speaker, storyteller and collaborator. I loved working on a team of fellow creatives!

For my Emerging Technology in Business and Design capstone, I pulled all that I’d learned about technology, design, marketing and research to design a website that brings joy into learning about geography. The result? A personalized digital experience that blends user interests with educational content, creating a personalized and engaging learning experience.

In a cross-disciplinary capstone course, our team of seven worked together for a real-life client, pro2cool. Acting as a co-project manager, I used collaboration, organization, research and design skills so that our team could exceed client expectations with our final presentation and deliverables.

This open-ended class project gave me the freedom to combine design with another personal passion—the Enneagram. It became a reflection of my enthusiasm for learning and my tendency to get completely absorbed in a creative challenge. Fueled by curiosity, I pushed beyond time constraints to create something meaningful and exciting.
