Hello! I’m a junior pursuing a BFA in graphic design at Rhode Island School of Design.
With a strong focus on storytelling and craft, I aim to create meaningful visuals that can emotionally connect with an audience. I enjoy exploring and experimenting with different forms of design while adding my own playful spin! From taking inspiration from my own personal experiences to researching and hearing the stories of others, I find ways to visualize them impactfully and intentionally.
In my free time, I love to listen to music and create all kinds of art!

a monument to the universe
I collaborated with Rachel Chen and Sophia Minogue to create a physical visualization of data collected from Brown University’s Ladd Observatory. We explored and expanded the tools of data visualization to communicate the characteristics and stories of our chosen location. Given its rich history of timekeeping and astronomy research, we created an unbound book that contained different aspects of the Ladd. I was in charge of visualizing the natural growth on the Ladd as well as the equipment kept inside the building over time.

the natural growth on the ladd observatory book
We collected photographs of the Ladd’s exterior from the 1900s to 2025. I was intrigued by how the observatory’s building stayed the same throughout the years, but the nature growing around and outside of it kept changing. I used vellum paper to layer the images, illustrations, and text on top of each other to convey the notion of growth as the viewer flips through each page of the book. Text is my own personal written observations.
the equipment at the ladd observatory interactive map and cards
Each equipment card is drawn by hand to emulate the vintage quality of the objects preserved at the Ladd. Each card has an astronomical symbol that correlates with the symbols on the blueprint map. This allows users to physically interact with the piece and get a sense of where each piece of equipment is actually located in the observatory.
process
Research was conducted by visiting the Ladd Observatory, interviewing the people who worked there, and collecting historical documents from archives. Our group ideated together on how to take all of our data and translate it into a container. We transcribed and annotated testimonies from the people who work at the observatory and categorized them into specific themes of interest on a whiteboard. Information was stored and shared on MiroBoard and Google Drive.
ideation
We brainstormed eight data visualizations for different themes of interest. We narrowed it down to five, and I focused on the natural growth on the observatory, and the equipment kept in the Ladd.
