MIIPS, 2026

This is how to say my name:

 

What unique skills or interests do you bring to the iii?

With a background in English literature and professional experience in UI/UX and web design, I bring a cross-disciplinary, human-centered mindset to every project. My training in language and storytelling enhances how I understand users, while my design work has taught me to collaborate effectively across teams. I'm comfortable navigating both creative and technical conversations, and I hope to contribute empathetic, flexible thinking to iii projects that require thoughtful communication and cross-functional teamwork.

Why MIIPS?

I was drawn to the MIIPS program for its interdisciplinary curriculum that combines design, business, and engineering. As a designer, I believe it’s essential to understand not just the user experience, but also the technical and business context behind a product. The program’s strong emphasis on cross-functional collaboration and real-world, problem-solving projects offers a valuable opportunity to deepen my understanding of product design and innovation from a more holistic perspective.
