Gridify: Leading design for a startup
I was the 3rd teammate to join Gridify, a climate tech startup transforming the Renewable Energy Certificate market. As the sole designer from day one, I defined and executed the branding strategy and led product design in Figma, driving the visual and strategic direction of both the brand and product. I also create marketable reports for our clients using InDesign.

I'm a bit of a digital artist in my free time! I used to do a lot of mixed media, from oil paints to jewelry-making, but these days I mostly just use Procreate on the iPad.

Senior thesis: Computer Science
For my capstone project for the Computer Science department, I investigated how to digitize the museum experience, attempting to recreate one of the most intangible yet powerful user experiences. I proposed what I call the “semi-generous interface” as a more suitable touchpoint for exploring museum content, and shared Figma prototypes & an early implementation of an algorithm.

Senior thesis: English
For my capstone project for the English department, I wrote a dissertation on Virginia Woolf, an author I studied in three seminars. In particular, I examined her views on consciousness and its daily demands of our selves: the internal self, the external self, the self we create, and the self that creates us.
