Let me introduce myself…
My approach to design is rooted in creating visually striking, purpose-driven work that drives meaningful change. Starting as a young artist, I channeled my critical thinking through traditional media, but I soon recognized the power of design to make a broader impact. Design is more than aesthetics; it’s about crafting solutions that resonate, elevate well-being, and serve a clear purpose.
With experience across design consultancies, automotive innovation, and tech startups, I bring cross-industry insights to craft purposeful solutions. From translating research into actionable design strategies to blending UX research and visual storytelling, I’m equipped to tackle complex challenges with a focus on impactful, user-centered design.
My foundation in Digital Media Art from UC San Diego where I gained expertise in interactive installation, digital medias, game design, etc. and shaped my perspective on the role of design in shaping experiences. transitioning into UX design allowed me to balance creativity with problem-solving rigor. Now, as I advance my studies in Engineering Design Innovation at Northwestern, I’m honing my skills in design strategy and management, challenging the status quo with an inclusive and comprehensive approach to problem-solving.
