Hi there, I'm Andrea!

That’s me over there, smiling through the pain. I'm a designer who creates experiences that connect people!

In high school, I got really into building in Minecraft. I later had the opportunity to work on maps for public servers, and watching my friends and community interact with my creations was incredibly satisfying. That's when I realized what I loved most: designing experiences for others to enjoy.

That experience taught me that digital spaces aren't just entertainment - they're where real connections happen. It shaped how I approach design today: always thinking about the people on the other side of the screen.

Right now, I'm focused on usability and understanding how people interact with products!

When I'm not designing, you can find me gaming with friends, experimenting in the kitchen, or working on my cardio (work in progress).
