Student. Listener. Designer. Developer.

Hey, thanks for stopping by! I'm a senior at the University of Pittsburgh, pursuing a B.S. in Digital Narrative and Interactive Design (DNID), with a minor in Computer Science and a certificate in Digital Media.

My UX journey has been powered by the belief that great design simply starts with listening to people, and I feel most inspired when collaborating directly with end users.

Whether by starting Pitt's first UX Club or helping organize its biggest hackathon, I love bringing creative communities together and collaborating with other designers. Recently, I’ve had the privilege of contributing to design research at CMU’s Human-Computer Interaction Institute and working as a UX Engineering Intern at Wabtec.

    🍰 When I'm Not Designing...

    I always start my day with the NYT Wordle and Connections (plus the Washington Post crossword as a special weekend treat)!

    I bake a LOT - my speclaities are baked apple cider donuts, brown butter/dark choc chunk/toffee cookies with sea salt, & jumbo cinnamon rolls!

    I love playing cozy or story-rich video games like The Sims 4, Animal Crossing, & What Remains of Edith Finch.

    ...or you can find me bouncing between cafes, bookstores, and antique shops!


    🌠 Fun Facts!

    Cancer Sun, Sagitarrius Moon, Leo Rising (if you know what this means, please email me immediately.)

    MBTI / Ennegram - Consistently an INFJ / Enneagram 2w4

    I LOVE Halloween! I start celebrating on September 1 and design a new spooky movie watch list every year.

    Bevs of choice - iced pistachio matcha latte, hot masala chai
