About

Hi, I'm Centennial!

My friends call me ¢ent.

I'm a UX/UI Digital Experience Architect​. I craft seamless virtual interactions that blend beauty with functionality.

I aim to enhance digital experiences through creative design, seamless functionality, and human-focused solutions, forging meaningful connections in the digital world, one screen at a time.​

I am a creative based in El Paso, TX. I’ve been enthralled with UX and UI design long before I knew what those terms meant. It all started when our family got our first computer back in 1998. I was instantly captivated with designing websites, teaching myself HTML, and doodling (what I now know as) paper wireframes for fictional websites in my journal. I was thrilled when I learned that it’s actually a career path!

When I’m not at my MacBook, you’ll find me embroidering, playing on my PS4, playing Beat Saber with my husband, or hiking with our son and dogs. I’m an avid audio-book listener and a lover of plants.
