hello
I am a fourth-year Architecture, Design-Thinking student at the University of Virginia. I want to use creative problem-solving and effective story-telling to improve social relationships, spatial environments, visual brands, and user experiences. A great product requires an even greater process.
​
My knowledge about data science, anthropology, and international business allow me to approach design opportunities from a quantitative and qualitative perspective. I believe collaboration between these fields can provide unprecedented insight about changing social relationships and meta-physical spaces in the 21st century.
​
I want to ask how designers and researchers might wield their tools for the benefit of the user and society at large - not only the profiteering developer. I'm prepared to ask difficult questions, share the wrong answer, and learn from experience.
