About Me

Who am I?

I graduated from UC San Diego with a B.A. in Speculative Design, where I focused on combining creative thinking with hands-on making and user-centered design. Since then, I've contributed to collaborative projects like public art restoration, worked in small business environments that required flexibility and teamwork, and started learning front-end web development to bring interactive ideas to life. I'm especially drawn to sustainable design and creating work that's both thoughtful and impactful.

Speculative Design

What is Speculative Design?
Speculative Design is an emerging research-based design field focused on provoking questions and challenging today's standards. While primarily looking to the future of possibilities, it also considers the "what ifs" of both past and present. We aim to shoot for the stars with our ideas, and then find a way to set them in reality.
From leading Speculative Designers:
“an activity where conjecture is as good as knowledge, where futuristic and alternative scenarios convey ideas, and where the goal is to emphasize implications of “mindless” decisions for mankind.”
—Anthony Dunne and Fiona Raby
"combines informed, hypothetical extrapolations of an emerging technology's development with a deep consideration of the cultural landscape into which it might be deployed, to speculate on future products, systems, and services”.
— James Auger
