I don't just design interfaces. I design how people FEEL by turning interactions into moments and moments into meaningful experiences. I'm driven by a curiosity for how people sense, feel, and interpret the world. Confident, hardworking UX/UI design student and professional with a foundation in computer science, interaction design, and research. I aim to bridge design and development, focusing on front-end technologies to create intuitive and impactful digital experiences. I use Figma for prototyping and wireframing and draw on stakeholder insights to guide decisions. I'm proficient in Java, JavaScript, and Python and am actively transitioning from wireframes to frontend prototypes while advancing my degree. As a young leader with strong empathy, I connect with users to deliver human-centered UX/UI experiences and continuously seek improvement. I'm passionate about research in human-centered interaction design for sensory technologies and exploring how mental associations influence taste perception. My long-term goal is to develop highly interactive UI/UX applications that enhance user experiences and advance human-centered sensory technologies, including applications to help patients recover from taste loss due to chemotherapy or COVID-19 and create accessible food experiences.
