impact
Overview
During high school, I engaged in social impact initiatives through my work with APY, a youth-led non-profit, and as an intern for Joe Biden's campaign. At APY, I focused on building our brand identity and managing digital media for social media platforms. This experience allowed me to develop skills in digital storytelling, ensuring our messaging was impactful and aligned with our mission. My internship with Joe Biden provided insight into the importance of clear communication and digital outreach in political campaigns, where I supported efforts to connect with diverse communities through digital channels.
I am deeply passionate about digital justice and equity in design. I believe that technology should be a tool for inclusion, and I strive to integrate this philosophy into my UX work. Whether it’s designing accessible interfaces or advocating for ethical digital practices, I am committed to using my skills to create solutions that foster equity and reform. I view UX as a powerful means to address systemic challenges, and I am dedicated to merging my passion for social impact with meaningful design work.
I founded A Progressive Youth (APY) in 2020 to mobilize teens in activism during a critical election year. With chapters in eight states and over 100 members, APY aimed to engage young people in political action and raise awareness on key issues. We organized drives, canvassed neighborhoods, and facilitated lobbying efforts, all while providing teens with opportunities to expand their political consciousness. One of our significant initiatives was distributing voter guides across Texas schools to support first-time voters and encourage a shift towards progressive change.
This collection showcases the digital media and brand identity materials I created for A Progressive Youth. From social media graphics to logos and visual assets, these materials helped establish a cohesive and recognizable presence for APY. Our digital content was instrumental in engaging young activists, promoting our initiatives, and amplifying our mission across various platforms.

AAPI's for Joe Biden
In high school, I accepted a graphic design internship with the AAPI branch of Joe Biden’s campaign. My role involved creating infographics, videos, and social media content to support Biden’s policies and outreach efforts. Here are a few pieces from the internship that were featured on the campaign's social media accounts.
