As a chronic doodler and budding programmer, I entered college studying Interdisciplinary Computing and the Arts (ICAM ↗), drawn to the endless possibilities that art and computer science offered. When I found out that said endlessness grew exponentially in design, I picked up the Cognitive Science department’s Design & Interaction major and quickly immersed myself in a new field.

Taking up a double major was a quick and easy decision — I was already too fascinated by the possibilities of UI/UX, impact of design, and a future where I could contribute to that to regret anything. At this intersection of art and design, I see ways to connect with, move, and support people through meaningful, inclusive experiences — from the biggest of screens to the smallest of interactions.

In my free time, I enjoy playing games (on heavy repeat: Stardew Valley, Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky, and Honkai Star Rail), reading web novels, grabbing a sweet treat or three with friends, and jamming out to my messy pop/alternative/indie/rock/videogame BGM/r&b mixes. The following collage might give you a clearer idea. 🤭
