Hello! I'm a Product and UX/UI Designer and a Cognitive Science student at UC San Diego, where I'll be completing my degree by the end of 2026. I've always been drawn to creativity and over time that passion grew into designing digital experiences that are both functional and enjoyable to use. I have experience with user research, wireframing, prototyping, and designing responsive interfaces in Figma and Framer. I enjoy collaborating with others, learning new skills, and turning ideas into products that people genuinely enjoy using. When I'm not designing, I'm probably trying a new restaurant, reading, listening to music, or working on another creative project.
