THE
person

02 / About

I’m a UX Designer and Product thinker studying human Centered Design & Engineering at the University of Washington. I care about the space where insight becomes interface, and interface becomes behavior. My work spans social products, spatial computing, and design systems. I think in systems, feel in details, and always ask what this design makes the person on the other side do, believe, and become.


YouTube's autoplay wasn't a UX feature, it was a behavioral engineering decision that reshaped the information diet of a civilization. Apple's greatest product is the expectation of quality, That expectation gradient is itself a design artifact. I think about design at this level. Not "how does this feel to use" but "what does this make people do, believe, and become?" That's the question I want to spend my career answering.


lately, i’ve also been deeply interested in using AI as part of my creative and technical workflow to prototype ideas, get quick stakeholder buy-in, build tools, and rethink how products get made.
