A little about me

I’ve always enjoyed creating things growing up, from clay to my makeup account. I became interested in design because I can use my creativity to solve problems and find effective solutions — something I enjoy.

I’m a student in New Media at Toronto Metropolitan University, where I learn more about the intersections between art and technology.

TMU UX Club

I’m also the former Co-President of TMU UX Club (as of May 2026), where I led events, workshops, and industry partnerships to help students break into UX and product design.

When I’m not designing

When I’m not designing, I’m usually exploring new food spots around Toronto and the GTA, experimenting with creative makeup looks, thrifting, or spending time with friends.

Creativity extends beyond my screen — I’m also a self-taught makeup artist, where I explore color, expression, and identity through visual storytelling. This practice has deeply influenced how I think about inclusive design, personalization, and confidence.
