Why tech@nyu?
Tech@NYU is a welcoming community backed by energy and creativity. The club really blends technology with various avenues to create a space where people from all backgrounds can come together to build! A genuine family
What do you do outside of work?
You’ll see me wandering around trying to capture experiences and moments with my camera! Usually end up in random mountains and landscapes doing this!! I’m also a big fan of the cinemas! Always down to go to the movie theatre to immerse myself with friends!
What's your aesthetic?
I constantly draw inspiration from regional cultural styles along with retro aesthetics, synth-neowave and am a big fan of textures and maximalism. (You’ll see me slap textures on everything.)
What's your journey into your career?
The end goal has always been to be both a storyteller and a builder. Love creating and working with teams on interesting projects that feel personal and meaningful, and documenting the journey as I go.
Advice to your younger self?
Trust the process!! one day at a time, don’t fear opportunities, it's always better to try and fail than to end up a bedrotter.
