I grew up in Silicon Valley, surrounded by technology, but I was always more fascinated by the people it was for: how we think, feel, and make sense of the world.

That curiosity led me to study Cognitive Science at USC and Human-Computer Interaction + Design at the University of Washington, where I could combine my interest in people, technology, and design.

I’ve brought that perspective to healthcare startups as a product design intern at Enable Medicine and Kenko.

I question the assumptions embedded in design and technology, looking beyond functionality to how what we create shapes people’s lives and well-being.
