Nice to meet you!
I am a UX designer hoping to empower others through design. I recently graduated from UC San Diego (UCSD) with a Bachelor of Science degree in Cognitive Science specializing in Design and Interaction. Throughout my undergrad, I’ve designed for Revelle College and The City of Santa Clarita. I was also an active member at UCSD’s Design for America studio.

I always felt that I was a designer at heart but never knew what to call myself. I grew up a “curious mind” with a knack for the arts and a deep hunger for understanding the world around me. Before attending UCSD, I studied at College of the Canyons and earned associate degrees in computer science, mathematics, social and behavioral sciences. I am extremely proud of my beginnings as a community college student as it afforded me the holistic education that I have today.

In true Renaissance fashion, I aim to explore new perspectives and commit myself to lifelong learning. I hope to expand my creative horizons and use my talents to make an impact in my community. When the computer is off you can find me picking up a new skill: one wheeling, unicycling, skating, embroidering, sketching, wheel throwing, playing mahjong, solving a puzzle… you name it!
