I am undergraduate student studying Human Centered Design & Engineering at the University of Washington. Creating seamless, accessible, and fun experiences are my core values when it comes to designing for diverse communities. In any context, I am eager to learn new skills to create meaningful solutions with purpose and impact.
Currently, I am…

Learning in a variety of coursework including visual design, user research, and web development.
Advocating for accessible technology as an ambassador for HuskyADAPT.
To me, design is…
🗣️
communication.
Effective communication is a crucial aspect of working in a team so that people feel comfortable in speaking about their ideas.
💗
empathy.
Understanding and empathizing with users makes for a better design experience both for designers and the users involved.
💡
humility.
Having an open mind and accepting feedback allows me to improve my skills and be a better designer than I was yesterday.
