I'm a recent UCLA Computer Science graduate with a specialization in Digital Humanities working at the intersection of product management and design – most recently as a Product Design Intern at Mada, a fashion-tech startup. I've led UX audits and built design systems, but I've also owned and shipped an MVP as a Product Manager, and worked with LLMs to build a RAG-based chatbot end-to-end, so I’m comfortable on both the design and technical sides. I’ve also led teams directly, managing a 25 person cross-functional team as Editor-in-Chief of a college newsmagazine. That range means I can see a product from every angle – from design to engineering to business – which is exactly the perspective that I bring to every project or team I work on. As I grow my career, I want to continue building at the intersection of product and design to turn complex problems into intuitive, human-centered experiences.
