hi! i’m lia

🌷

I’m Lia, a student at the University of Michigan studying User Experience Design with a minor in Statistics.


I love creating people-focused solutions that bring communities together, make things easier to understand, and help others focus on what truly matters to them.


Beyond design, I am passionate about community-building and advocating for equity in diverse communities. These experiences have shaped my approach to UX by emphasizing inclusivity, cultural empathy, and creating systems that empower underrepresented voices.


Outside of the classroom, I love film photography, music, crafts, and creative writing!
