I'm a product designer with research experience, shipping end-to-end design systems across digital and physical interfaces, rooted in cognitive science and engineering principles.

That foundation started at UCSC, where studying how people think and how systems are built became inseparable. Cognitive science didn't just inform how I research, it shaped how I design. The process stays the same across every problem: understand the human, define the system, iterate toward something that fits. The output just looks different depending on the medium.

My M.S. in Integrated Design & Media from NYU gave me the breadth to prove that. From Arduino and physical computing to AR, AI, and machine learning, I've designed and shipped across industries, user groups, and interfaces — and the product thinking never changed. Only the tools did.

Outside of screens and studios, I'm usually touching grass, nature journaling, making zines, or somewhere climbing rocks in Central Park. 🌿📓🧗
