About

I’m a Product designer with a background in technology innovation and landscape architecture, passionate about creating intuitive, human-centered digital and physical experiences. With experience in AI, VR, and smart product design, I thrive at the intersection of user research, interaction design, and emerging technology. Currently pursuing my Master’s in Technology Innovation at the University of Washington, I’ve worked on projects spanning UX research, interface design, and physical product prototyping. My approach combines a deep understanding of user psychology with a hands-on, experimental mindset to tackle complex design challenges.
