Why I Design

I use design to connect people and meaning.

With a background in critical media theory and information technologies, I’m an interdisciplinary designer who examines not just how digital systems work, but how they shape user behavior, culture, and society.

My goal is to design with intention, bringing together creativity and user-centered thinking to create meaningful designs that resonate with user needs

When I’m not designing, you can find me playing tennis, baking, or raiding the thrift stores!


How I've applied my goal to life before design

 I’ve always seen creativity as a way to elevate the user experience. I began competitive figure skating at age eight, where I combined technical skills with artistic storytelling to create performances designed to engage and move audiences.

 

This creativity naturally extended into my academic and professional career, where I became passionate about digital storytelling and creating user experiences that are accessible and empathetic
