Hello, I’m Agnes~
Growing up, my home doubled as a used bookstore. Now, joy, connection, and storytelling remain the center of my work—I create because I like hearing and sharing stories.
Recently(-ish), I graduated from Brown University where I studied Computer Science on the AI/ML track and Economics. Currently, I’m a Senior Designer at IBM iX based in Los Angeles, where I specialize in UI/UX and designing with and for data.
If I’m not on Figma, I’m probably speed-running my hobbies—dancing with my team, writing creative nonfiction, reading Banana Yoshimoto, 3D modeling furniture, creating lore for my DnD campaigns, gardening with my grandma, napping with my dog, Tofu, […]. The list goes (and grows) on.
↳ Let’s chat work, freelancing, design workshops, first gen/low-income mentoring, writing, book recs, etc!
