About Me:

My fascination with design stems from my belief that the most meaningful work happens when technology genuinely serves human needs. As an undergraduate in Comprehensive Design at IU Bloomington, I've explored this intersection through coursework in UX, graphic design, and environmental design. But it's the collaborative aspects of design that truly energize me. I enjoy finding my role on a team, contributing to brainstorming sessions, and working toward the right solution rather than just something that looks polished.

I'm particularly drawn to addressing problems of social isolation and disconnection, issues I believe are amplified by the same technologies meant to bring us together. My interest in emerging AI technologies stems from seeing that beneath the hype lies an opportunity to fundamentally reshape how humans and computers interact, and enhance how people interact with eachother.

Whether I'm designing digital interfaces or physical spaces, I'm driven by the same core belief: environments, both virtual and built, shape how people connect with one another.

When I'm not immersed in design work, you'll find me rock climbing, hiking, playing acoustic guitar, or working on 3D animations.
