the human side

I studied Cognitive Science and Psychology at UC San Diego and am now pursuing my Master’s in Human Computer Interaction at UC Santa Cruz. I’m especially interested in how research and creativity can work together to solve complex problems with intent and purpose.

With experience in user research and interaction design, I focus on transforming feedback and insights into designs that are not only functional, but also feel intuitive to use. What excites me most is the process of listening, iterating, and shaping ideas into solutions that genuinely reflect people’s needs. I also love balancing vision with detail, ensuring that even the smallest choices still carry impact and strengthen the overall experience.

Outside of design, I find inspiration in sketching, experimenting with creative tools, and noticing the small moments in everyday life that spark new ideas.

ART
Outside of design, I love exploring my creativity through drawing and painting. Art has been a passion of mine since I was young, and it’s always been a way for me to express myself. That creative foundation continues to influence my design work today, giving me a unique eye for detail.

DANCE

When I'm not working or channeling my creativity through design, you'll often find me dancing! I've competed in various dance competitions across the country, showcasing a range of styles. For me, dancing is another powerful way to express myself and explore my creativity!
