About

Today


I’m a senior at the University of Michigan studying User Experience Design, with minors in Art and Entrepreneurship. As a former Art major and Bay Area native, I’m fascinated by how design and technology converge, from motion and 3D design to the psychology behind human behavior and how it shapes the future of interaction.

Childhood


Growing up, my obsession with sketching, creative writing, and performance vehicles shaped both my skills and creative foundation. Sketching taught me to create visually engaging work; creative writing sharpened my ability to storytell and empathize; and studying sports cars and planes fueled my curiosity for precision systems where every detail matters.

Growth


At Michigan, I discovered UX/UI as the ideal balance between creativity, psychology, and problem-solving. My process became grounded in empathy: understanding users deeply, iterating quickly, and designing experiences that serve functionally and emotionally. Through projects spanning AR/VR, mobile, and product systems, I’ve learned to think holistically about design. Each challenge has pushed me to question conventions and explore design’s impact across industries, from luxury fashion to defense technology.


Goal


With that being said, I aspire to use my diverse breadth of knowledge and unique lens to make design that is not only seamless, but deeply human.
