hi, i'm madeleine!

I'm a senior at NYU Tandon studying Integrated Design and Media and currently based in NYC. I was born and raised in Los Angeles, and spent a semester studying Industrial Design at KAIST in South Korea, where I had the chance to explore design from a new perspective and live abroad for the first time.

My work sits at the intersection of design, technology, and interaction, with experience across UI/UX, product design, research, physical computing, and 3D modeling. I especially enjoy projects that let me combine creative thinking with technical problem-solving.

Outside of design, you'll usually find me baking or cooking (especially trying out new breads and desserts), knitting or crocheting something, listening to K-pop, or spending time with my dog, Dasher.
