nice to meet you, iā€™m jayna ā˜ŗ

Born and raised in Singapore, I am now a Cognitive Science major and Data Science minor at UC Berkeley who has a passion for the intersection between design, research and social impact. šŸƒ I have been lucky to be involved with student organizations in school EthiCAL Apparel & Berkeley Innovation where I have been able to discover design and the social impact it can make, and wear many different hats that have allowed me to grow professionally and personally!

Why research & design?

I find research in design to be the liminal space where I can be curious, creative and analytical, while continuing to grow my capacity for empathy and make an impact on the lives of others. I believe my interdisciplinary interests also allows me to navigate problem scopes with a pair of fresh eyes. šŸ‘€

My B-side;

I love playing ultimate frisbee in my free time, and am grateful to have found the Club Sports community at Cal and the Bay Area to be a part of! I also love finding new cafes, sipping boba and chasing sunsets around California ~
