I went to Brandeis University and triple-majored (yes, I know) in Computer Science, Economics, and East Asian Studies. I was convinced I would end up as a software engineer, but did a lot of art/design on the side, having loved all things creative since childhood. When I discovered UX/UI design my junior year, I knew immediately that was what I wanted to do. The reason why I studied CS in the first place was because of technology's ability to solve problems and help people; design is what provides the empathy and creativity that technology needs to do so. Since then, I've been on a self-motivated journey where I've expanded my design skills and thinking through various projects and work experience.
Currently, I'm working as a UX/UI Designer for Ann Taylor and LOFT to ensure that millions of women have positive online shopping experiences and find the perfect outfit. I'm always looking to connect with others, so feel free to reach out for collaborations or just chat! :)
