ABOUT ME

I’m a cognitive science and data science student at UC Berkeley with a strong passion for design, storytelling, and community impact. My design journey began at C Magazine, where I created spreads and illustrations that brought stories to life. Since then, I’ve led design as Marketing Director for the Cognitive Science Student Association, shaping branding for the California Cognitive Science Conference and mentoring peers in Figma. Beyond campus, I’ve led social justice art workshops to foster empathy and dialogue among youth. Skilled in Figma, Adobe Creative Suite, and Procreate, I create designs that are both visually engaging and human-centered—always aiming to tell meaningful stories and build inclusive experiences.
