My Impact
Cultivating a design community on campus.
As 1 of 4 Campus Leaders at CMU selected from thousands of applicants, we work together to foster a design-centered culture on campus through community-building events.

Figma @ CMU
Tabling, workshops, community activations, and more!
My campus leader cohort creates marketing assets and organizes events to grow the creative community on campus. This opportunity allows us not only to mentor others to use the design tool, but also allow people to have conversations with fellow creatives at Carnegie Mellon.
Media Team
Driving growth across social platforms.
I'm also 1 of 6 members of the media team that runs @figmacampusleaders on Instagram in addition to my own campus' account, @figmaatcmu. We create social media assets and campaigns to keep people informed about all the latest events in the Figma for Edu community!

Config
Takeaways from my first design conference.
I had the privilege of attending Config through the Campus Leader program this summer! Other than seeing familiar faces offline, to me Config represented that design is alive and well in 2026! AI lowered the bar and raised the ceiling, so we can continue to build delightful and meaningful products with new tools.
