About me

Hey there! I'm Stella, an interaction designer.
‍
From constantly drawing as a child to studying experimental design under a mentor in my teen years, to receiving a BFA in Interaction Design and working on numerous design agency projects, design has always been my way of connecting with others. I’m interested in how human-centered methods help us build identity, community, and a sense of belonging in a digitized world. I aspire to be a contributor and leader in human-computer interaction to invoke positive, people-first experiences with the future of technology.

🎨 I love experimenting with textiles, 3D modeling, and mixed media. You can find some of my passion projects on my Instagram. I also design amigurumi and I'm always happy to chat about it!

✍️ I'm very interested in studying visuality, scopic regimes, and art history. In particular, I'm fascinated by how they influence the development of emerging tech and the digital world. I occasionally write about these topics and pursued a minor in Visual Culture Studies in my undergrad to study these themes further.

⚙️ I really enjoy coding and see it as a creative medium. I’ve built a wifi-based, remote-controlled delivery robot named Boxie using Arduino and Javascript, as well as a 2D Unity platform game using self-taught C+.

⛷️ I love physical activities, particularly skiing and pilates! I'm always on the lookout for more ski/snowboard or workout buddies :)
