Featured on Podcast

I recently had the pleasure of being a guest on the Designers Beyond Portfolios podcast! I was featured in a three-part series (episode 3 in production) where host Farheen Samad and I discuss navigating challenges, redefining failure, and building meaningful relationships.

We also spent a lot of time talking about Indiana University Bloomington’s HCI/d program. If you’re a prospective student, these episodes offer a glimpse into the program’s culture and tips for thriving at IUB.

Enjoy listening!
