I am a design student exploring the intersections of ethics, systems thinking, and emerging technologies. My work investigates how design choices, especially in algorithmic and technological systems, can reinforce bias or empower change.

With a strong belief in co-design, sustainability, and practical application, I aim to design for long-term, systemic impact across social and environmental contexts.
