With an education in cognitive science and human-computer interaction, I pride myself on being a research-driven designer and team player who brings design-thinking to projects (and donuts to project meetings).

As a curious social scientist at heart, I’m intrigued by human behavior at an individual and societal level — a quality that suits my roles as an empathetic researcher and designer. I know that design, done properly, is half creative, and half scientific. Furthermore, I believe that human-centered design isn't just a method capable of creating enjoyable products, but also a mindset capable of making a more enjoyable life. When I’m not busy sketching wireframes or being the President of Design at UCSD, you’ll find me in the kitchen cooking, in the workshop crafting my next DIY project, or at the beach pretending to be a surfer (dude).
