A young researcher interested in exploring the cross-section of design, cognition, and education. I see myself as a cell in the social metabolism, and I feel both passion and a mission to restore balance and vitality to my community. Through my design projects, I hope to be a part of the scaffold between the materiality and spirituality.

Interactive Note-Taking App.
- Identified the pain points from mismatching of info sources (i.e., lectures, readings, discussions)
- Market researched the "affordability," "availability," "portability" of current note-taking modules
- Conducted literature reviews on: 'enactive' designs, information hierarchies, and natural workflow.
- Designed basic modules using Sketch and Figma including user flow, wireframe, UI library aiming to active learning and greater cognitive scaffolding through salience of knowledge unit and AI feedback mechanisms
- User tested the prototype by qualitatively surveying my peers and learning individual note-taking techniques.
