Hello again, I'm Nina!
As a first-generation college graduate from a low-income background, I began my career in education with a strong desire to support students navigating the same barriers I once faced. Through this work, I saw how unequal access to resources shaped not just academic success, but also students' confidence and future opportunities.
Over time, I noticed how deeply technology had become woven into learning spaces and daily life, yet not everyone had equal access or the same ability to navigate it. This realization led me to UX & product design, where I now focus on creating intentional and accessible digital experiences. My goal is to design work that supports those who are often overlooked and helps make technology feel more approachable and empowering.
