Hi, I'm Anna Katherine! ٩(ˊᗜˋ*)و ♡

I'm a recent Computer Science graduate from USC. Currently exploring the future of human-technology relationships at ACE Lab ↗.

I like building things, but I love making them better; I'm a designer with an engineer background.

To me, design is the biggest avenue for growth – making life more accessible,  inclusive, and meaningful. I strive to drive empathy and connection by truly listening to people's stories.

Also – an INFJ, cafe & matcha connoisseur, dancer, and crossword puzzle enthusiast.
