I am a product designer based in New York and the Bay Area, driven by a passion for human connection, meaningful impact, and empathy. I thrive on using design to solve complex human challenges
A little bit about me...I'm an INFJ, chai lover ☕️, a mediocre crocheter 🧶, a dedicated viewer of true crime content, and a foodie 🍣
Why Design?
Growing up in Silicon Valley, just five minutes away from Apple's global headquarters, I observed how Apple gradually transformed our relationship with technology, prioritizing a distinctly human-centric approach with a strong emphasis on design. Although I wasn't fully aware of it at the time, but deep down I knew I wanted to be at the intersection of design and technology.
Despite the prevailing STEM-centric culture in Silicon Valley and the significant focus on Math and Science in my high school, I found equal joy in spending my time doodling in my tiny Moleskine sketchbook.
Fast forward to today, I recently graduated from Pratt Institute in New York with a bachelors in Industrial Design and double minor in Psychology and UX/UI. I believe the most effective path to achieve this is by becoming a UI/UX designer, creating practical, human-centric tools that contribute, even if just a little, to making the world a better place.
