A Bit About Me
A industrial design graduate from the University of Illinois Chicago in 2024, I'm driven by a passion for product and user interaction. My approach to design is rooted in a desire to infuse a sense of child-like wonder into my creations, aiming to evoke joy and curiosity in users of all ages. I aspire to develop products that enhance user experiences by delving into the intricate realm of psychological perspectives. It's not just about creating functional objects; it's about making a meaningful impact by understanding the nuances of human behavior and emotions.
