I'm a designer, builder, & dancer—optimizing for fun.

I think deeply about people, products, and the future of technology. Currently having the most fun in exploring novel AI interactions.

Open to contract work starting August 2026. If you're working on something cool, let's chat!

Outside of design, engineering, and being a computer science & business student, I'm:

  • building tech communities on campus
  • café hopping
  • flashing V4's
  • dancing, dancing, & dancing

To befriend me or hire me, reach out on LinkedIn, X, or by email—can't wait to meet you!
