Hi! My name is Cat and I am a third-year Cognitive Science & Media Studies student at UC Berkeley. Aside from design, you can find me working as an optometric assistant at the UC Berkeley School of Optometry, romping through the makeup aisles of Target, or adventuring the beautifully eccentric city - San Francisco.

My two greatest passions are designing digital spaces that thoughtfully balance usability with aesthetics, and understanding how humans process information. Beyond creating unique interfaces, I am curious as to how digital platforms affect consumer interactions and their thought process. My personal philanthropy places people at the center of my work. Ultimately I believe products whether digital or tangible, like any art, should leave people with a feeling of deep satisfaction. I am eager to utilize my knack for design, passion for innovation, and empathetic nature to develop meaningful user experiences that people love and love to share. While learning more about the abstract space between the human psyche and computer technology, I aspire to be a part of the wave which seeks to change digital platforms as we know it, and in my humble endeavors create, convince and compel.

Thank you for visiting my little corner of the internet. I'm happy you stopped by!
