I'm a senior at the University of Washington studying Computer Science with a focus on Human-Computer Interaction and Design. I work on and research accessibility, education, and interface design/development.
My work involves developing and designing experiences that are accessible, impactful, and (hopefully) a bit magical ✨. At this intersection of design and development, I believe in crafting digital experiences that are equitable, inclusive, and empowering, while focusing on the, well, human!
In research, I focus on accessibility, education, and interface design/development within the realm of Human-Computer Interaction. I think that these fields are super important, especially given our increasing (if not excessive) reliance on technology 😜. I'm excited to see what the future of HCI looks like, and how my research contributes to it.
Some questions I think about include:
- How do/can students learn best in a given environment?
- How can we utilize design to drive more equitable outcomes?
- And what happens when we move beyond a touch screen?
I also spend a (probably unhealthy) amount of time thinking about how we can teach computing and design with a focus on equity, opportunity, and depth. Anyone should be able to develop and design their ideas, and I'm constantly exploring ways to make that a reality.
