I'm a third-year student at UC Berkeley studying Cognitive Science, with a certificate in Design Innovation and a minor in Data Science. Before I knew what product design was, I was drawn to making things—oil paintings, 3D printed experiments, and DIY solutions that brought people together. That curiosity for building and aesthetics grew into an interest in how thoughtful design shapes everyday experiences.

My path into design was grounded in service. Years of volunteering taught me to listen first and understand context before acting, a mindset that continues to guide my work today: user first, designer second. I see design as a way to translate real needs into clear, practical solutions.

I’m drawn to work that balances beauty and function. Across my projects in edtech, fintech, green tech, and health care, I design with intention to foster accessibility, connection, and joyful human experiences for social good.
