Bio

I'm a passionate product and UX designer, dedicated to creating intuitive and valuable user experiences. With a keen eye for detail and a deep understanding of the user-centered design process, I thrive on crafting products that solve real problems and meet users' needs. I've honed my skills through formal education and hands-on experience in the field. My education includes a master's degree in Human-Computer Interaction from Georgia Tech, which has provided me with a solid foundation in design principles, research methodologies, and service design. When I am not designing, I love to play golf, basketball and video games. I also enjoy traveling and spending time with my dog, Winnie.

Project ideas

Project ideas are meant to help inspire student thinking about their own project. Students are in the driver seat of their research and are free to use any or none of the ideas shared by their mentors.

Creating a community engagement platform for high school students. This project will involve designing and developing a website that serves as a hub for students to connect, share resources, collaborate on projects, and engage in various activities.

Study buddy application

Design a mobile app for a study buddy or learning companion. This project will focus on creating a user-friendly and visually appealing user interface (UI) and optimizing the user experience (UX) to enhance studying and academic performance.

Student venture marketplace

Teaching experience

I have had the opportunity to work at a summer camp where I taught Java development to students aged 9 to 14. I was able to help them through code challenges and showed them how to create their own mods for Minecraft. In addition to technical camps, I was also a counselor at a sleep away camp. This wasn't as much teaching but rather mentoring and fostering a fun and safe environment.
