I'm a builder, guitarist, & rock climber, always looking for a new challenge

My path to tech started in an unexpected place: fashion.

I thought I'd design physical products, but when I discovered computer science at Kent State, I was drawn to building systems instead. That's where I learned a crucial lesson — robust algorithms fail without intuitive interfaces. The best technology means nothing if people can't use it. That insight led me to UX. I wanted to be the bridge between what's technically possible and what's actually usable.

Now at UC Berkeley, I'm learning front-end development & information systems to work even closer to the software I design. I'm focused on AI-native interfaces because that's where the gap between capability and usability is widest, and most important to close. I thrive at the intersection of design and engineering, making powerful technology accessible.
