I am currently based in Austin, Texas pursuing Masters🎓 in HCI at the University of Texas at Austin. I started out in computer science, but I quickly realized UX Design is where I really belong. It’s the perfect mix of creativity and problem-solving.

When I’m not designing, I’m either making art 🖼️ , playing with dogs 🐶 , or sipping way too much coffee ☕️. I also love staying active with swimming, cycling, and playing squash.

My career journey

Product Design Intern

GameChanger

·

Jun 2025 - Aug 2025

I redesigned the RSVP experience on the GameChanger app to make it more flexible and reflective of real-life attendance situations. By talking to users and gathering feedback, I uncovered frustrations with the old binary system and communication gaps between coaches and parents. Working closely with product, design, and engineering, I created and tested new RSVP flows that make event management smoother and more transparent. The updated experience is now set to impact over 10 million users.
