a Bay Area native and 3rd-year Speculative Design major at UC San Diego. As a student, I navigate the realm of design with an acute awareness of its power to transcend mere aesthetics, aiming to instigate thought, conversation, and change. Beyond my academic pursuits, I find joy in the worlds of photography, fashion, makeup, interior design, and journaling, embracing them as expressions of personal and artistic identity. Growing up in a very family-oriented household made me thrive on vulnerable, lasting relationships. My friendships, and my communities, stand at the forefront of my life. As seen in my work with Antifragile Zine and CampBizSmart, I am committed to honest collaboration as a force for positive change. My world is one where creativity and human connection intersect.
