I am a prospective PhD student, former Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) and User Experience (UX) Researcher & Designer who aims to create inclusive, user-centered technologies that blend physical and digital worlds to foster belonging, connection, and accessibility.
I utilize Tangible Interfaces and Mixed Reality (VR/AR) for Inclusive Design to enhance sensory and communication experiences in healthcare, education, and collaborative settings.
Through my work, I hope to expand the boundaries of how design and technology can transform lives, making the world more inclusive, accessible, and human-centered!
