01 / SELECTED WORK

Ideas made tangible.

I move from a question to a working experience—through research, prototyping, code, and iteration.

Current résumé projects appear first. Earlier portfolio work is clearly marked.

02 / EXPERIENCE

Work with people.

From research and automation to leading a music community, I build across disciplines.

BEHIND THE WORK / RAYA

03 / ABOUT ME

Curious by design.

I’m a Computation and Design student at Duke Kunshan University and Duke University, working where product thinking, AI, interaction, and music meet.

I like asking how people experience a system, then building something tangible to test the answer. My practice spans user research, prototypes, creative coding, sound, and visual storytelling.
