Who am I?

Born in the 90s I remember what life is like on two fronts. I remember my childhood not being focused on tech and gadgets all the time. Being able to grow with the values of doing things face to face I always kept that as an important notch in my life. Growing up in New Jersey and living so close to NYC when I became fascinated by the emerging trends of technology NYC was a digital and creative playground for me. I was able to see my first computers, laptops, cellphones, palm pilots, video game systems, new televisions and more. That's when my love for technology began to truly develop. I often wondered how these machines worked, the science behind the designs, the science behind the creativity of why these machines are able to touch so many people and in turn become so intertwined with everyday life. As a teenager that's what my heart was set on finding out and being apart of. The lore behind the machine. Not only how they work, software and hardware wise but when the human meets the computer was what I was truly fascinated in. I grew up self-teaching myself coding and what makes machines tick but I knew that was only a small part of my passion I wanted to complete. I am a creator, an innovator, and an entertainer and I wanted to combine those passions. That's when I realized tech is the way to reach the people in ways never before.

That's when my journey truly began I am always willing to bridge emotion with human-computer interaction which led me to YouTube, Twitch and Podcasting cause much like UX/UI design I am bringing a level of creativity and emotion to other people through the means of technology. All while still aligning my passions of technology, creativity, art, design, and emotion all while holding onto that value of personable interaction. I knew my journey couldn't stop there as I developed my social skills, my creative skills, my design skills, my technical skills and combined them in order to entertain like I would in real life through digital means but I also still had the passion in tech to be able to help others connect with technology. So in comes UX/UI design with UX/UI I realize I can utilize my technical and creative skills and passions to bring companies with ideas on bridging technology and human life together. That is how I am able to align my passions, my skills and my goals to define who I am.
