About Me

I am a 4th year Cognitive Systems student at the University of British Columbia, where I explore the intersection of human cognition, technology, and design. My love for creativity started with doodles and art, but my first spark for UX/UI ignited in elementary school when I created my first PowerPoint. I quickly realized how meticulous I was about details, alignment, and aesthetics. That early curiosity evolved into a deep appreciation for design, and in university, I discovered UX/UI—a field that perfectly blends my analytical thinking with creative problem-solving.


Now, I am dedicated to designing innovative experiences that not only solve real-world problems but also bring delight and functionality to users.
