I believe that UX design is about connecting people with others and with technology.

During my time at ArtCenter, I had the opportunity to work with various people including: kids from age 4 to 8 years old, people with disabilities (such as blind or low vision, ADHD or dyslexia, and deaf or hard of hearing), and individuals in low-income communities. I also had the opportunity to speculate futures and experiment with emerging technologies, like virtual reality, machine learning, and body tracking. During my internship at NASA-JPL, I learned a lot about the integral role a UX designer plays in supporting different types of engineers.

Through UX design, I am continuously learning how to better serve my community.
