Hi, I’m Elise!
A lifelong explorer of what drives human behavior and how technology can empower people. From an early age, I’ve been intrigued by the intersection of human psychology and technology, fueling a curiosity that has shaped my journey every step of the way.
While pursuing my degree in Cognitive Science at UCLA, I discovered my passion for user-centered design—creating intuitive products that allow people to confidently engage with technology, no matter their technical expertise.
Now, I’m on a mission to make technology less intimidating and more accessible, bridging the gap between human needs and innovative solutions. My future lies in Product Design and User Research, where I strive to craft experiences that are not just functional, but meaningful and impactful.

My Life Through Pictures!
When I am not working or exploring UX design, I find balance through hot yoga, both an exercise and meditation practice that helps me focus and recharge. I am also a true foodie at heart as I am passionate about cooking and exploring new foods. Additionally, I love exploring the natural beauty of the San Francisco Bay Area and cherishing moments with my friends and family!
