About
I grew up with social media and saw what came with it: cyberbullying, body-image pressure, depression. It's a tool for connection, and it shouldn't feel like this.
So I studied sociology at UT Austin, then human-centered design at UW. Now I research, design and build products where trust and connection matter.
