Featured in WIRED Magazine for a Musical Collaboration with NASA
I had the incredible honor of being featured in WIRED magazine for a groundbreaking musical collaboration with NASA. This project transformed astronomical data from distant star clusters into algorithmically generated music—bridging the realms of space exploration and sound design. By converting cosmic data into harmony, we created an experience that lets listeners hear the stars. It's a fusion of science, art, and technology that celebrates human curiosity and the infinite rhythms of the universe.

How Teaching UX and Visual Design Shaped My Product Design Career
As a graduate professor of UX and Visual Design at the Academy of Art in San Francisco, I spent years guiding emerging creatives through the fundamentals of user-centered thinking, interaction theory, and visual storytelling. Teaching sharpened my ability to communicate complex design concepts clearly, adapt to diverse learning styles, and stay ahead of evolving industry tools and trends. It was in the classroom that I refined the very skills—systems thinking, empathy, iterative design—that now ground my approach as a product designer. This experience gave me a deep foundation not only in design craft, but in leading with clarity and purpose.
