Tell us about yourself along with a fun fact!
I’m a junior studying computer science and linguistics while pursuing the Segal Design Certificate at Northwestern University. I grew up in Naperville, IL doing mostly creative and hands-on hobbies, particularly drawing and DIY. Indie music, tiny food, quirky stationery, and baby animals are some of my absolute favorite parts of life.

I used to play cello professionally and taught lessons during high school!

(“work in progress”) I’ve switched gears many times so far on this adventure, most recently shifting from programming towards design, and I’ve truly come to realize that nothing is every permanent. People and ideas will come and go, but at the end of each day, you always have yourself, and no one can take that away from you. You’re always working on the project that is yourself: improving yourself, sharpening your skills, learning and experiencing new things. It’s never quite complete, but that means you’re always progressing, and that’s the beauty of it.
