About

Hi! I’m a junior at Dartmouth studying Computer Science + Digital Arts, with a focus on UI/UX and product design. Currently, I lead design projects at Dartmouth’s DALI Lab, collaborating with engineers, PMs, and designers to create and ship mobile and web apps. I’ve also designed end-to-end products for early-stage startups. Recently I've been experimenting with emerging AI tools, and how they can meaningfully support design. Feel free to reach out at [email protected]. I’d love to connect!
