My UX story.
I always found purpose in serving others. As a result, I first gravitated toward medicine. However, I found it wasn’t my true passion and it stifled my creativity. I then discovered UX design. I fell in love with the idea of combining my creativity and altruism to create digital experiences that benefit people. From then on, I’ve been studying Informatics and Human-Computer Interaction at The University of Washington and collaborating with a diverse range of individuals on various projects that leverage design and technology for social good. I look forward to continue writing my story and making an impact, one person and one pixel at a time.
How I approach my work (and life)
Diversity fuels innovation.
Collaborating with people of all different backgrounds has revealed the power of perspective. I strive to learn from the various identities, ideas, and skill sets of those I encounter.
Recognize and empathize.
Empathy is the first step to fully acknowledging a problem and working towards creating a meaningful solution. By better understanding those around me, I can help build a more equitable tomorrow.
There’s always something to learn.
Employing a growth mindset has enabled me to take on risks and embrace challenges. Chasing my curiosity has allowed me to continue evolving with the dynamic world around me.
