Nice to meet you,

I’m Ciel, a recent graduate from the University of Virginia, where I studied a blend of computer science, psychology, and design. 

Previously I’ve interned for a nonprofit, a startup, and an agency, where I worked on feature launches, experimented with animation, and learned how to work with clients.

Apart from UX/UI, I love fashion, journaling, cozy games, ramen noodles, playing tennis, and books — currently, I'm reading The Creative Act by Rick Rubin.
