a bit about me…

Growing up, my “toy” of choice was downloading the latest app and dissecting it as I played around with it. My curiosity led me from digital illustration to graphic and web design and now to UX design.


I’m inspired by the world around me. Whether it’s simplifying the way friends split bills (Billed ↗︎︎) or building a fully automated email notification system (HFC ↗︎︎), I’m all about working backward to turn everyday challenges into intuitive, delightful experiences.


Wearing many hats–as a product lead, designer, and full-stack engineer–led me to discover a sweet spot where design intersects with engineering and curiosity meets strategy.


I'm currently studying CS, Cognitive Science, & Design at Northwestern.
