My path to design started long before I had a name for it. I've always been drawn to creating — doodling in the margins, building layouts for school projects, chasing whatever new art form caught my attention. Studying Cognitive Science at UC San Diego gave me language for why: I became fascinated by how people think, notice, and make sense of the world around them, and how that understanding could shape better design before a single pixel gets placed.

That curiosity is what pulled me toward Interaction Design. It blends psychology, research, and visual craft; a way to turn an instinct for creating into something that actually helps people. Design became my way of taking all that scattered creative energy and pointing it somewhere useful.

Currently interning at The Walt Disney Company, crafting digital experiences at the intersection of

storytelling, design, and technology.

I believe good design starts with paying attention: to people, to context, to the small details that make an experience feel warm instead of just functional. That's the thread running through everything I make.
