Hiya! Welcome to my space!
I'm a current student at Cornell, pursuing a dual focus in computer science and human development. My passion lies in enhancing user experience for underserved sectors, bringing innovative design to often-overlooked domains.
Recently, I co-founded Lawnstack, a SaaS startup that provides a hassle-free membership for all your outdoor chores. We are currently backed by Alchemist, the world's #1 B2B accelerator.
Previously, I interned at Palantir and Pupil as a product designer and Metlife as a software engineer. I was also an award-winning fullstack developer at the North American Food Systems Network.
I am in the process of building a new UX portfolio, but if you are interested in reading about my old work, feel free to check out my old website.
My journey
Student @ Intro to Digital Product Design
Sept 2021 - Dec 2021
My freshman year, my friend Michelle dragged me to some mystery class called "Intro to Digital Product Design." Who knew my reluctant "sure, why not" would lead to the most transformative course I'd take at Cornell?
Product Designer @ Cornell AppDev
Jan 2022 - Dec 2022
Right after, I joined a group of students who loves app development. Here, I designed a new feature and maintained the design system for Pear, a social app with 500 monthly users.
Two semesters as a rookie designer taught me UX isn't just art. Here, I developed some of my fundamental skills as a designer—working with cross-functional stakeholders as well as giving and receiving feedback.

Product Manager @ Cornell AppDev
Dec 2022 - May 2023
After shadowing Noah & Aarushi, two rockstar PMs on Pear, I wanted to try it out as well.
During my semester as a PM, I led a cross-functional team of 8 for Volume, a student news app, increasing MAU by 300%. As a cherry on top, our team received the 2023 EY Corporation Award at BOOM, Cornell's annual technology showcase.

Software Engineer Intern @ Metlife
May 2023 - Aug 2023
Post-grad plans? Designer? PM? Developer? Only one way to find out—dive in and test the waters.
Full-stack Developer @ North American Food Systems Network
Jun 2023 - Present
To improve my skills, I joined an ag org in need of a developer.
From scratch, I built CARAT, a platform tracking food system resilience used by 70+ communities nationwide.
As the result of my work, I was recognized by Cornell as the Student Employee of the Year. In the process, I self-taught industry standards on web and backend development.

Design Lead @ Cornell AppDev
Dec 2023 - May 2024
As the oldest design member on the team, I stepped up to lead. I mentored 8 product designers to help deliver mobile & web designs for 10,000+ daily users.
Product Design Intern @ Palantir
May 2024 - Aug 2024
I worked on AIP Logic, a no-code IDE to help users build powerful functions that they can use to complete workflows and automations. On the team, I led designs for a quick start experience, a version comparison view, a compact view, and a few other features.
Here, I learned how to be independent and autonomous.

Co-founder @ Lawnstack
Jan 2024 - Present
With my previous experience as a designer, developer, and PM, I decided to start my own venture.
My design philosophy
I seek to grow from feedback and critique. I am unafraid of exploring new possibilities and am always striving to achieve excellence in my work.
With every project, I look towards learning from my peers as well as from the users themselves. My goal is to further develop my intuition for seamless digital interfaces through constant iterations, over and over, refining my taste of what truly constitutes a delightful experience.

Fun and crafts
When I am not designing, I enjoy playing music, building guitars, 3D modeling, and exploring nature.
