Hi! I’m a 1st year Ph.D. student in Computer Science at Stanford University, fortunate to be working with Professors James Landay and Diyi Yang. I explore the intersections of Human-Centered AI, Art, and creativity.
Previously, I studied Computer Science and Art, Theory, Practice (Fine Arts) at Northwestern University, where I've had the pleasure of working with Haoqi Zhang, Matthew Kay, Duri Long, and Brian Magerko. I was trained in HCI systems design research in the DTR program.
I spend my spare time drawing, performing with my choir, and exploring ways to enjoy life creatively. My special skills include skateboarding, making zines, and socializing with local bar owners for free sake in Japan.
