About

I started designing because I loved the feeling of shaping ideas into something tangible and seeing it actually help people. Over time, that grew into a deeper curiosity about how technology fits into daily life, how people make decisions, and how design can bridge the two.

What I love most is translating research and data into actionable design—solving real problems in ways that make technology more intuitive, fair, and accessible. Whether it’s refining an interface or rethinking an end-to-end experience, I enjoy the mix of empathy, creativity, and impact that comes with it.

I love exploring and building new stuff 🌟

After taking an Interactive Devices class, I wanted to build something fun that separates people from the always-online, Wi-Fi-connected world. Retro Brick is a nostalgic game console I made using 3D printing, bamboo laser-cutting, and Raspberry Pi. I connected it to games like Alto’s Adventure, Angry Birds, and Gold Miner for a peaceful, unplugged experience.


When I'm free, I love to.. ⛰️

When I’m free, I love heading outdoors—hiking, chasing sunsets, or skipping stones by the water with friends. Nature is where I think best. Even in a fast-paced environment, I’ve learned that clarity often comes when your mind is calm. Stepping away gives me space to recharge and return with sharper ideas (and sometimes, better code)
