About

Not all good technology feels good to use — and that is the gap I am interested in. I am a Year 2 Information Systems student at SMU, majoring in Product Development with a second major in Communication Management. I am interested in how tech and communication come together to create things that people actually understand. I enjoy turning ideas into something real, and I care a lot about building things that are not just functional, but meaningful. Still learning, still exploring, but always up for creating something that makes an impact.
