About
Hi! My name is Tyson and I am currently a student at UC Berkeley studying Design Innovation and Data Science.
Coming from a hard of hearing background and bicultural upbringing, I lean on my unique experiences to design products that are accessible and human-centered.
I’m passionate about design that starts with real people, listens closely to their needs, and turns those insights into experiences that feel intuitive and genuinely helpful. I’m especially interested in the space where people and technology meet: I love designing products that bridge that gap, making technology feel more human, approachable, and worth connecting over.
My goal is to enrich others’ lives through compassionate design that makes everyday experiences better.
