About Me
Iβm an upcoming grad @ Stanford where I study a mix of product design, digital communications, engineering, and data science.
Design's superpower is empowering others to create their own imaginative spaces, intimate communities, and personal stories. This has molded my interests in a specific set of product spaces: consumer social, personal wellness, and commerce technologies.
Nothing gets me more excited than projects working towards this future!
