About Me

I am an advocate for the transformative power of design, empathy, and technology. My work is driven by a deep commitment to bridging societal divides and cultivating meaningful change. With a background that spans in Psychology, Computational Neuroscience, and AI, I bring a unique intersection of human insight and technological fluency to every project I take on.

Currently, I’m pursuing my Master’s in Human Centered Design and Engineering at the University of Washington, where I’m exploring how design can be a catalyst for inclusion, accessibility, and sustainability. My work is grounded in the belief that technology should not just work, but work for people, especially those most often left out of the conversation. My aim to merge psychology, AI, and design to build thoughtful, human-centric solutions that resonate across cultures, needs, and lived experiences.

My Process

Coming from a background in psychology, I tend to approach design by really getting into the details first. I like to start small, for example, by conducting user research by observing how people interact with things, how they feel during those interactions, and what might be going on beneath the surface. I pay close attention to emotional cues, micro-behaviors, and the subtle things that can make an experience either frustrating or delightful. It’s often in these little moments that the most valuable insights show up.

From there, I zoom out to see how everything connects, for example, how individual needs fit into larger systems, how design decisions ripple across communities, and where opportunities for impact might lie. Whether I’m digging into user research, sketching out ideas, or testing a prototype, I try to stay grounded in empathy and always keep the bigger picture in mind. It’s a balance between the close-up and the wide-angle view that helps me design with clarity, care, and purpose.
