About Me

I am currently a student at Full Sail University studying for my Master's in Game Design, focusing on UX research. After I graduate, I plan to work in the game industry as a UX researcher specializing in accessibility. My goal is when users use the products that I work on they won't be forced to remember their limitations but instead feel a sense of equality that they may be missing from their everyday life.
