I’ve always been drawn to creative expression, from painting and photography to building systems that connect people. While studying Business Administration at Carnegie Mellon, I realized I wanted a career that sits at the intersection of art, business, and technology. That path led me to pursue a Master’s in Interaction Design at ArtCenter College of Design, where I deepened my focus on emerging design challenges, especially as AI reshapes how people discover, create, and connect.

One quote that continues to ground my work comes from Michael Bierut: “If you want to be a designer, no matter how compelling your personal vision or how all-consuming your commitment, you need other people in order to practice your craft.” I strongly believe design is a collaborative practice, and that meaningful outcomes are shaped through shared perspectives.

Today, my work centers on inclusive, research-driven product design. I focus on building systems and experiences that are accessible, scalable, and deeply human, with a particular interest in fostering trust, social engagement, and ethical innovation in AI-powered products.
