I'm a UX designer, storyteller at heart, and curious college student.

I got into design for the control it gave me — nothing matched the satisfaction of pairing a perfect color palette with the right font. I now know design is about far more than aesthetics, requiring you to constantly collaborate and adapt. That realization has only made me love it more.

Why design?

→ It grounds me. There will always be a lot I don't know about this field, from game-changing tools to entirely new ways of thinking, and I find this commitment to lifelong learning more exciting than scary.

→ It's fun! At the end of the day, something inherent to me simply loves the process.

→ It influences everything. The issues and communities you can impact with it are limitless.

Some obligatory fun facts

• My favorite TV show

At the time of writing, "How To With John Wilson." If you like the idea of an awkwardly filmed yet undeniably profound take on humanity, I highly recommend.

• Something I think about frequently

Yes, I'm about to unironically quote the philosopher Voltaire: "Doubt is not a pleasant condition, but certainty is absurd."

Change is arguably the only constant in our lives. When things feel chaotic, I try to remember these words.

• Things I do in my free time

Crocheting, watching oddly specific video essays, reading, writing one-sentence movie reviews, and junk journaling (this last one just gives me an excuse to hoard receipts and postcards from cute cafes).

Despite being perfectly average at all of these hobbies, I'm always looking to add more!
