About Me

About Me

My journey started at UW Seattle, where I first discovered UX design. I later transferred to UChicago, getting to experience the harsh winter seasons buried in my imagination.

my music :D — mostly lo-fi, but occasional edm
staying active — lifting, running, basketball, any sport and I’m there
designing — always imagining and creating new things
eating — big back foodie mapping on nextbite.
