I design creative, intuitive, and thoughtful experiences that connect technology and people — especially for those who need it most.

Background

Growing up in an immigrant family in NYC, I witnessed firsthand how physical and cultural barriers can shut people out of the same digital opportunities that transformed my own life. That tension sparked a deep drive to build inclusive solutions at the intersection of design and technology.

I pursue this mission through UX Design, Fine Arts, and AI at the University of Michigan. My artistic background built a strong foundation in visual design, my upbringing informs my cultural awareness, and my education emphasizes a human-centered and technologically literate approach.

From studio art classes at age six to a camera that's grown up with me, having a creative outlet has always been vital to how I perceive the world. When I'm not designing, I'm adamant about documenting life, whether through photography or my comprehensive journal ecosystem.
