Some more things I’ve done!
🧬 Conducted UX research with medical students to brainstorm and design solutions to help connect them to local volunteer opportunities
🪴 Redesigned and fully implemented a new UI for a platform that allows scientists and educators to share and explore new machine learning models (Globus.org Garden)
🎨 Worked as a lead volunteer at the Academy of Music and Art for Special Education, a program where volunteers are paired with individuals with intellectual disabilities to teach them music and art
🪭 Went on countless ‘side quests’: from performing in traditional Korean fan dance to fixing computers as a campus IT technician.
When I'm not coding or designing, you can find me rummaging through the bins at my local Goodwill and flea market, going on runs, cafe hopping, exploring new music, or drawing in my sketchbook. I believe that the best digital experiences happen when artistic intuition meets analytical thinking: my passion is in creating technology and products that are not only functional, but intuitive and meaningful for users.
I'm a developer and designer based in the Bay Area and Los Angeles,
with roots that stretch back to first-grade art class when my passion for all things creative began! I graduated in May 2025 from Washington University in St. Louis with a BS in Computer Science and minors in HCI and Communication Design. Right now, I am pursuing my Masters in Computer Science at the University of Southern California, focusing on research in the field of Human-Computer Interaction.
My journey up to this point has not been linear, to say the least. In high school, I practically lived in my art studio, fingers permanently stained with charcoal and acrylic paint–several years later, I’m presenting my research on my optimizations of a NASA telescope data pipeline at a conference in Texas.
