A junior studying cognitive science + HCI at Carnegie Mellon.

Pursuing a minor in history + media design.

One of the most impactful insights HCI has taught me was not being afraid to interact with unfamiliar products or interfaces.

I used to believe that the fault was on me for not understanding how to properly interact with a product or service.

Now I understand that this is the role of the designer, not the unsuspecting user to skillfully guide users towards the right direction.
