Summary
👋🏾 Hi, I’m Samantha — a developer and designer who loves building interactive, intuitive digital experiences. When I’m not designing or coding, you’ll find me behind a drum kit, performing and creating rhythm in a different medium (check out my Instagram!).
Work/Club Experience
Web Engineer Intern
Jun. 2025 - Aug. 2025
University of California, Office of the President (UCOP)
At UCOP, I contributed to several UC-wide initiatives and projects. I led accessibility efforts across multiple UC sites, improving WCAG compliance and design consistency. I also collaborated on systemwide site deployments and testing workflows, ensuring stable high-performing digital experiences.
UI Designer
Dec. 2024 - Present
UCSD Video Game Development Club (VGDC)
As a UI Designer for Mariposa, I designed and prototyped interfaces that enhanced player flow and visual storytelling. I partnered with developers, artists, and designers to create cohesive layouts and interactions that supported gameplay and improved usability. Contributing to a shipped title gave me hands-on experience translating creative concepts into polished, player-ready design solutions.
