Hello! I’m Nancy, an Information Science, Systems & Technology major at Cornell University, anticipating graduation in May 2026. As a first-generation college student, I bring a unique perspective and a relentless drive to my work in UI/UX and product design.
From a young age, I've been fascinated by how design influences everyday life. This curiosity evolved into a passion for creating intuitive and impactful user experiences, particularly in digital environments. My academic journey and internships have provided me with a solid foundation in design principles, user research, and digital prototyping using tools like Figma.
At Cornell, I’ve engaged in projects that demand both creative and analytical skills—from enhancing safety for women through a Google Maps extension called Walk Guard, to revamping websites to improve user engagement. These experiences have not only honed my technical skills but also deepened my ability to empathize with users, ensuring that the solutions I design are both innovative and accessible.
When I’m not wireframing or coding, you might find me on a sports field, experimenting in the kitchen, or diving into the latest design trends. I believe that a balanced life fuels creativity, and I bring this energy into every project I tackle.
I'm currently exploring opportunities to intern as a product designer, where I can contribute to meaningful projects and grow within a dynamic team. Let’s connect and create something great together!
