About
Hi! My name is Tyson and I am currently a 4th year 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.
My goal is to enrich others’ lives through compassionate design that makes everyday experiences better.
