I'm a junior at UC Davis studying Computer Science with a focus in human-computer interaction and consumer behavior. Having moved 9 cities, I grew up in the dichotomies of my life in India and the US. I've learned to hold on to people, above all, and cherish the connections that I create in the time shared together. As I grew older, art evolved with me and has sculpted my character by giving me a unique way to interact with the world. In high school and college, design and art became a way to contribute to the world around me; up-cycling clothes for the no-cost thrift store, designing graphics for my campus organizations, and creating feasible solutions to support underprivileged Davis communities. I am now seeking full-time opportunities in product design, where I can continue to influence people's lives by designing delightful experiences and using human-centered design to solve problems.

From doodles and scrapbook fragments to sculptures from cardboard boxes and packaging tape I found passion in creativity. When I'm not designing, I enjoy other creative outlets such as getting my hands dirty with paint and clay for arts and crafts, developing film photos in the DarkRoom, cooking cultural dishes, or planning extensive travel itineraries on Excel. I love outdoor activities such as river jumping, hiking, and pickleball.
