So, here's the story...

and yeah, this is me!

I graduated from  
Master's degree in Human-Computer Interaction @ Carnegie Mellon University.
With a unique background in non-design disciplines, I serve as a bridge between designers, developers, and users, infusing a human-centered approach into my designs. 

With a passion for human connection, accessibility, engagement, and, above all, Happiness, I strive to create solutions that truly address people's needs and empower them in meaningful ways.

Because! 🤔 I believe that...

"Everyone deserves to live in a world designed to support their journey toward thriving."

As I continue to hone my design skills, I am still exploring various mediums that solve human problems through the best use of technology.
My aspiration is to evolve into a proficient designer and ultimately craft designs that bring happiness to people's lives, embodying compassion, open-mindedness, and approachability.
My values are......

🤝  Empathy     
🔍  Curiosity      
🎨  Creativity     
🕰️  Patience       
🧘  Mindfulness
Oh! Want to know what I do in my free time?
I'm into waacking (by the way—it's a dance style!) 💃
I love dancing on stage and choreographing performances.
I'm all about exploring new cities and countries to see what the world has to offer. 🧳
I'm really into making small-scale art, like crafting miniature dollhouses and doing embroidery. 🎨
And, gotta admit, I'm a big fan of getting in plenty of sleep! 😴
👋 Nice to meet you! 😘
