a creative at heart

I was heavily interested in graphic design and the industry. Over time, I honed my design skills and my passion for visual communication. Wanting to explore what design could do in a more holistic scope, I expanded my learning to the UI/UX field.

My interests have pivoted toward HCI and user-centered design, particuarly in direct manipulation interfaces and novel data representations to foster creative exploration and synthesis.

Currently, I’m volunteering as a research assistant at The Design Lab at UCSD where I will be running user studies and carrying out rapid prototyping.

On the side, I'm working on illustrations or graphic design. You can check me out here as well:
