pondering interfaces between people, code, and culture since the Minecraft texture pack days.
EP | ATX
Grew up between Alpine, El Paso, Chihuahua, and Los Angeles — my dad's family rooted in the Big Bend region, my mom's split between California and northern Mexico. That geography taught me about design before I had a word for it: the best experiences are layered, shifting, and richer for being so.
Before I knew the term "user experience," I was rebuilding Minecraft texture packs in middle school — redesigning inventories, optimizing visuals, restructuring interfaces for other players. Every edit was practice in visual hierarchy and systems thinking.
I design the experience around the code — not the other way around.
That instinct carried through Voluba Kicks ($5–15k/month in sneaker resale), a BA in UX at St. Edward's (3.87 GPA), and a post-grad at UT McCombs. Now I build AI-powered tools that turn messy data into clear decisions.
