About Me

Hi! I'm Maya — a senior at UC San Diego studying Cognitive Science with a focus in Human-Centered Design.

I’m passionate about crafting intuitive, accessible, and visually appealing user experiences that address real-world challenges. Guided by my core values of empathy, compassion, and understanding, I aim to design solutions that enhance everyday life while respecting the unique needs of individuals.

Outside of design, you’ll find me soaking up nature and the sun, volunteering and petsitting for cats, or exploring cities, antiquing, and discovering hidden eateries with close friends.
