My decision to pursue a Masters of Design @ University of California, Berkeley was driven by a deep interest in people, a love for universal patterns, and a commitment to hearing and uplifting the voices of those often unheard.

MY Experience

MY Experience

MY Experience

My undergraduate background is in Environmental Studies and Technology from UC Santa Barbara, but my work has always been guided less by discipline and more by a persistent question: How do we design for deeper connection — with each other, with place, and with the planet?

My path has rarely been linear. I’ve taught climate literacy to schoolchildren, shadowed sustainable engineers at SOM, and designed user experiences at Climatize, a fintech startup making clean energy investing accessible.

I am excited to start at UC Berkeley this Fall! For the Summer of 2026, I am seeking full-time product design opportunities and internships where I can apply my expertise in visual design, sustainability, and strategic thinking, while embracing opportunities to learn, grow, and explore innovative challenges in the field.

I love when design feels less like an answer and more like an invitation. That same spirit shows up in the experiences I enjoy most: finishing a rock climb, hearing a favorite song for the first time, correctly identifying a planet, or hiking with my dog, Milo.
