I focus on designing AI-powered tools that help people work more efficiently, think more creatively, and feel more connected — from building AR features for social apps, to creating music apps with generative AI, to helping users design with AI and prototyping AI-assisted workflows. I’m passionate about using design to bridge the gap between people and AI, making it easier for users to harness AI in intuitive, meaningful ways.

Started my UX journey @Pratt Institute, New York
Studying Communication Design at Pratt Institute really sparked my passion for UX design. The program gave me a solid foundation in visual storytelling and user-centered thinking, which are at the heart of UX. I learned how to solve design problems creatively while keeping the user in mind. It was through these experiences that I sharpened my skills in user research, prototyping, and interface design.

I was in charge of designing UX-focused banners, videos, and a design system for event websites, which gave me invaluable experience in creating user-friendly, engaging designs. These projects helped me think holistically about user experience, from visual elements to how systems function as a whole.

Designed AR features with 10M+ downloads @Bondee
Designing user flows, high-fidelity interfaces, prototypes and conducting usability testing helped me grow as a UX designer by refining my designs through user feedback. Creating prototyping videos for AR capabilities allowed me to explore how emerging tech enhances user interaction and taught me to present ideas effectively to stakeholders. These experiences showed me how to blend creativity with data-driven insights to meet both user needs and business goals.
Lead end-to-end design and launched the product
Designing the full life cycle of a product has made me a more skilled UX designer. Developing scalable design systems and leading prototyping and user testing allowed me to refine my skills in both strategic thinking and hands-on execution. Collaborating with cross-functional teams like engineering and marketing helped me ensure alignment across all stages of product development. These experiences have taught me how to balance creativity, technical skills, and teamwork to deliver designs that truly meet user needs and business goals.

UX designer for a B2B platform @Artisk
Designing responsive interfaces and building design systems for both desktop and mobile platforms gave me a deeper understanding of designing for flexibility and scalability. Collaborating with developers taught me how to bridge the gap between design and technical implementation, while testing and refining designs helped me appreciate the value of iteration and feedback. Ultimately, these experiences strengthened my ability to think holistically about product design

Studying human-computer interaction(MHCID) @UW
Studying HCI will help me deepen my understanding of how people interact with technology on a more cognitive and emotional level. This master program let me explore important concepts like accessibility and emerging technologies, which will really sharpen the way I approach design. By blending my practical design experience with the research and insights from HCI, I’ll be able to create more thoughtful, innovative, and empathetic solutions that don’t just meet current user needs, but also anticipate future trends and challenges.
