I am a designer and artist born and raised in Silicon Valley. Currently, I'm studying at UC Santa Cruz pursuing an MS in Human-Computer Interaction. I feel very lucky to have the opportunity to be part of this program and couldn’t have asked for better peers to study with. Before grad school, I worked as a graphic designer for the past three years for tech startups, small businesses, a design agency, and a streaming company.

I still take on graphic design work while in school. Currently, I provide marketing material for a medical diagnostics company, MagIC Lifescience, and I feel extremely privileged to be part of their revolutionary work. 

Outside of design work, I love to make things! I enjoy crocheting stuffed animals, painting, and writing. I am a creative through and through and genuinely believe that creating things is my purpose. I love the process of making something and problem-solving for the unique challenges in my creative projects just as much as the outcome.
