I'm a multidisciplinary designer and computer science student at the University of Toronto, blending UX/UI design with software development. I lead cross-functional teams to deliver user-centered solutions, like SustainHub, a carbon-footprint calculator that earned recognition at Enactus Canada Regionals and Nationals. I enjoy turning research insights into accessible interfaces, prototyping rapidly in Figma/Adobe XD, and collaborating with developers and stakeholders to advance sustainability and education.
