I began as a watercolor artist, drawn to observing small human details and translating them into something visual. In high school, I paired that love for art with engineering courses, which led me to study Industrial Design at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign.

Over time, my focus shifted from physical products to digital experiences, where I design with clarity, systems thinking, and human behavior in mind.

I’m currently developing two case studies: one helping solo travelers experience cities safely like a local, and another gamifying local election education while matching users with candidates aligned to their values.

Outside of design, you’ll usually find me logging Letterboxd reviews or cheering for my favorite sports teams.
