About me
ikigan: reason of being
❈ Who am I?
Senior @ Carnegie Mellon University
B.S. Information Systems and Additional Major in Human Computer Interaction
I believe the combination of my technical and non traditional creative background makes me a stronger designer.
I strive to embrace a variety of perspectives when addressing problems with a human centered solution.
❈ How did I get here?
Growing up, I never knew what I wanted to do but I knew I wanted to help people.
In high school I started to drift towards political science. My first internship was with the local congressman, working to pass a proposal on increased subsidized housing for low income families.
However, once I got to college I fell in love with human centered design process and ux design. In my classes, I realized that there were so many ways that I could help people.
