About

self introduction

A designer who avoids being the architect in a room of engineers

Once I realized I can keep designing while solving real-world problems for people as a UX designer, I decided to jump into the field.

To keep my design experiences and collaboration skills applicable to real-world solutions across interdisciplinary groups, I stay engaged through various roles across campus:

  • designing UI for Purdue Stack
  • pursuing a Computer Science minor
  • mentoring at Purdue SASE
  • advising Purdue’s Lion Dance Team
