Product Designer, Builder, top 1% Hackathon Competitor (MongoDB Physical AI Hack SF 2026 Best Overall & Mongo DB Agentic Orchestration 2026 Finalist). I am the designer in a room full of engineers who translates high-stakes technical constraints from robotics to agentic AI into magnetic, consumer-ready products.

Currently an AI Design Fellow at Handshake, I am one of a select group of graduate students chosen to research and train AI models through a design lens, a role concluding with my Master’s in August 2026. My approach is defined by radical user-centricity: I famously conducted on-site field research at a EV charging station near me in LA to redesign the Electrify America experience, resulting in a community ritual that persists to this day to keep the station safer and more delightful.

With a background as a freelance musician and web developer, I believe design is the ultimate tool for creating attractive experiences.

...besides that I also love soccer, video games and boba :)
