observant, curious, and never quite done wondering.

hey there!
i'm Celia ;)
I chase sparks and tingles through observations, small adventures, new ways of seeing, untangling complex threads and slowly weaving them into something clear and meaningful.
I enjoy sitting with ambiguity, noticing quiet details, and turning messy systems into coherent stories.

CONNECTING THE DOTS..
CONNECTING THE DOTS..
I began my career in the fast-growing cybersecurity industry, exploring the intersection of business and design in tech. What initially felt like separate experiences gradually connected, drawing me toward research and shaping me into a detail-oriented, empathetic thinker.
Believing that each experience builds toward a larger picture, I pursued the MS in Human Centered Design & Engineering at the University of Washington, where I focus on accessibility, healthcare, and A/B testing, and I’m genuinely excited to see where these dots lead next! :)
