Halo, I'm ________
About me
I'm a student at Columbia University majoring in Cognitive Science with a specialization in Human-Computer Interaction. Growing up, I've always been fascinated by how we encounter and make sense of objects we see and hear. This curiosity is what drives my passion. It's hard for me to not pour it into every paper and pencil I grab. What started from one medium became limitless. From paintings to products, I'm constantly discovering more about how observation and interaction shape meaning and form.
Experience
With experience in project management, design, marketing, and (currently learning) design engineering, I'm an artist without boundaries. I don't like being constrained to one medium. Taking from each of these roles with sincerity and care, I pull knowledge across disciplines and craft it into something uniquely my own. This gives me a generalist perspective that lets me understand and solve problems with a human-centered, diverse approach.
Design Thinking
I'm a creator at heart. I enjoy the process more than the product. Whether I sketch, read, or create, you'll always find tiny scrappy notes beside the work (the handwriting isn't great). This habit has taught me to love iteration. Constant revision isn't a setback, but rather the best part.
Philosophy
As a first-gen student, I grew up with a family that always reminded me: “gotong royong,” that we rise by lifting others. This saying lives in my design philosophy. I create for people, with inclusivity and accessibility at the heart of everything I make; a habit that I can never outgrow.
