Creating with empathy, curiosity, and play

I recently graduated from Stanford University with an M.S. in Mechanical Engineering and a B.S. in Product Design Engineering, along with a minor in Sustainability.

At Stanford, I explored human-centered design from multiple angles: as a course assistant for "Human Values in Design" and "Visual Thinking", as a researcher studying design thinking and sustainability at the Ardoin Social Ecology Lab, and as an outreach lead for the Society of Women Engineers. I also built community for two years as a resident assistant at Xanadu House.

After graduation, I interned at a product design consultancy in Kathmandu, Nepal, and spent a gap year solo traveling across Asia and Latin America. These experiences deepened my commitment to designing with empathy, curiosity, and play. I later worked in curriculum design at Movi Collective, where I design learning experiences and lead workshops for professionals navigating career/life transitions.

I'm currently a Design Instructor at Colorado State University, where I teach courses in design thinking and textile design.
