To me, design— and any of my creative endeavors— has always been about connecting to and understanding people with experiences unlike my own. Through my experience as a UX researcher and design thinking expertise from Stanford’s Product Design major, I bring a strong curiosity about the user and investigative mind to my practice of design.
As a student at Stanford's d.school, I used my interdisciplinary background in mechanical engineering, art practice, and psychology to solve design problems in service of human need. In past professional and academic design work, I have connected with Alzheimer’s patients and caregivers, craftspeople, and environmentalists to create meaningful product experiences.
You can typically find me carefully curating a music playlist, playing taiko with San Jose Taiko, or perfecting my sourdough baking process.
