👋Hi, I'm Violet

I'm a senior at the University of Michigan with a passion for creating intuitive user experiences. Starting Fall 2025, I'm excited to continue my journey at Michigan, pursuing a Master's in User-Centered Agile Development.

When I'm not designing, you can find me gliding through the streets on my roller skates or at home, entertaining my two cats and parrot.
