Hi, I'm Isabel!
I'm exploring the intersection of psychology, visual design, and learning.
My design journey
Ever since I joined my middle school yearbook staff, I've always had at least one design project on my plate. But it took a while for me to realize I could transform this hobby into a career.
As an undergrad at Haverford College, I studied cognitive psychology and education. When I discovered UX design in my junior year, I was hooked. I could leverage my love for research to improve how people interact with technology and with one another. Since then, I haven't looked back.
What am I up to now?
Now, I'm at UC Berkeley working towards a Masters in Information Management. Here, I'm broadening my design skillset and dabbling in other fields like natural language processing and AI.
If I'm not in class, I might be...
-
rock climbing
-
reading
-
trying new restaurants
-
crocheting birthday gifts for friends
-
picking up new art forms
