About & Portfolio

About Me

I’m a Master’s student in Information Management at the University of Washington, specializing in UX design and AI-driven interaction.

My work sits at the intersection of design, data, and product thinking. I’m particularly interested in how AI and data can enhance user experience, improve accessibility, and support better decision-making.

With a background in Information Systems and Foreign Languages, I bring a cross-disciplinary perspective—combining technical skills, analytical thinking, and strong communication to design for diverse users.

I enjoy turning complex problems into intuitive solutions, and I’m always exploring how technology can create meaningful impact.
