With a Master of Design from Carnegie Mellon University and a Bachelor of Design from RMIT University, I am a passionate and skilled designer. My experience includes being a James R.

As a Research Assistant at Carnegie Mellon University, I worked under Professor Dina El-Zanfanly. I also served as a UX Researcher at EON Reality, conducting user research and promoting mixed-reality campaigns. Additionally, I worked as an XR Designer & Prototyper at MIT Media Lab, where I built a real-time pipeline for a Voice-to-3D project. My role as a Product Designer at Tsinghua University involved research and development in the field of Human-Computer Interactions and Human-AI-Interactions. My diverse experiences have equipped me with a strong foundation in design and technology.
