Designer Engineer building
thoughtful digital products.

I'm a graduate student at Duke University pursuing a Master's in Design and Technology Innovation, and a Northeastern University alum with a B.S. in Computer Science, Interaction Design, and Global Fashion Studies. I've always been drawn to the space where creativity and engineering overlap. I care about the details that make products feel right.

Originally from Los Angeles, I studied for one year in Oakland, 3 years in Boston, 1 summer in Paris, 1 summer in Korea, and now I'm currently in Durham, North Carolina.

When I'm not working/studying, I love to play tennis, dance (hip hop, contemporary, ballet), try new restaurants and cafes (Beli warrior..), travel, and go to concerts/festivals!

Design. Develop. Delight.

I strive to push the boundaries of technology and design to create seamless, user-centric digital experiences. I believe the best products are built at the intersection of technical rigor and genuine empathy for the people using them.
