About Me

I'm Andrea, and I like to make complex things feel human.

I'm endlessly curious about how humans perceive and process the world, and I channel that into design. Part cognitive thinker, part visual storyteller, I translate complexity into experiences that don't just work, but actually feel like something. I grew up fascinated by space and science, and that curiosity never left; it just found a new home in design. I'm drawn to the problems that feel too technical to be beautiful and too visual to be purely functional. That's exactly where I want to be.

My inspirations and interests

When I'm not working on my projects, you can see me

  • running races and exploring scenic spots

  • taking photos

  • building keyboards

  • traveling

  • eating to my heart's content

  • swimming

Each of these hobbies provide me with diverse insights and help me empathize with others on a deeper level, whether it's watching people walk around the neighborhood or experiencing different cultures through taste buds.

Matcha

Fun Fact: One of my goals this year is to make matcha every single day this year and take pictures of it to share to friends and family. With this, I have somehow convinced many friends and family to join in on the challenge.

Below you can see a couple pictures of some matcha drinks I've made this past year, along with my cat.
