About

Designing with
intention & rigor

IPD Master's student at Penn · Cornell Information Science.
IPD student at Penn. I design products and systems at the intersection of people, technology, and context — across healthtech, XR, wearables, and AI-enabled experiences. I bring together research, systems thinking, and hands-on making to turn complex human needs into intuitive, deployable products.
