Born to Mexican immigrants, I grew up between San Diego and Tijuana—shaped by the borderlands in more ways than one. Moving between languages, cultures, and perspectives taught me to sit with complexity and design for the full spectrum of human experience.

I studied Cognitive Science at UC San Diego, fascinated by the intersection of the brain, behavior, and computing.

You can find me at the beach, studying Japanese, solving sudoku puzzles, or watching Seinfeld in my spare time.
