design, tech & society — ux · creative strategy · tech policy

my design is very human. at brandeis, i'm designing my major in design, tech, and society. whether that's building interfaces or advocating for tech policy, i'm always thinking about how the things we make shape the people who use them.

i'm studying anthropology, CS, and psychology. i co-founded the brandeis consulting club, i'm leading DeisHacks 2027, i've gone into legislators' offices pitching the MA data privacy act, and i create personal projects every day because i'm a #creatress.

always down to connect, collaborate, or just talk design. xx

where i've been

i've moved a lot. each place left something in me.
