I design & code products that empower users.
Throughout my undergraduate career, I was always fascinated by how the brain works. How are we able to take in a plethora of constant information & turn it into sentences, thoughts & concepts? Why does one person’s perception of an object differ from another person’s perception & interaction? Why do some tasks & interactions appear easier or harder for one person versus the other? It was these types of questions that led me to pursue my degree in Cognitive Science & Data Science. I wanted to find a way to create accessible, sustainable & empathetic designs for products & services to empower users. In addition, I wanted to be able to back up my design decisions in a quantifiable manner as well as be able to code/implement them.
During my time at Cal, I pursued getting certificates in both UI/UX Design Innovation, as well as the Certificate in Human-Centered Design and helped develop & conduct workshops on UI/UX design & research. Summer 2018 I was a Product Operations Design Intern at Uber, working with the Uber Eats restaurant menu viewing/ customization teams; & Summer 2019, I had the amazing opportunity to Intern at Indeed as a UX Design Intern, working with the Notifications Team on designing a platform that empowers users while waiting to hear back after applying for a job.
Outside of class, you can catch me practicing Hot Yoga, Bullet journaling, Having foodie adventures, singing spontaneously, dog spotting & innovating.
