"I wish there is a way to address my problem."
"I'm not from the majority group, it is hard for me to speak up."
"I have special needs but they are hard to find in the current products."

These used to be my (not always personal, but related) problems during my undergraduate life. As I grow as a design student, I realized that there is a massive gap between the marginalized group and the product itself.

I identify myself as a member of a marginalized group. After years of struggling, I finally gained the ability and privilege to identify and potentially, change the situation. I would like to give back to the group who built me as a person, along with other groups who have their unique situations and are waiting to have their problems heard.

In my free time, I am an amateur runner training for my first half-marathon. I also enjoy art creation and writing stories, also driving to eat tasty foods!

I am always looking forward to working with people who have the same goal. Let's get in touch!
