Hi there! I'm Shaun. Nice to meet you.

I'm a Computer Science student at Brown with coursework spanning Urban Studies, Psychology, Anthropology, and East Asian Studies.

As a designer and researcher, my design process centers on accessibility, context, and impact.

From my coursework in anthropology and as a volunteer peer counselor (at Project LETS), I believe design must be user-centered to truly work. Understanding the context behind user needs, outside of assumptions, is difficult, yet critical, to impact.

Living with ADHD, and as a first-generation international student, I understand how difficult it can be to navigate systems built without accessibility in mind. I believe inclusive design is a powerful way to unlock potential for our communities; for we shape our designs, then afterwards, our designs shape us.

Before this, I started as...

• A front-end engineer building a social podcasting and listening platform featured on Product Hunt.
• An intern in an startup accelerator working with early-stage startups to find product-market fit and grow.
• The leader of a nonprofit in Jakarta, Indonesia promoting community organization, public health access, and social entrepreneurship.
• A rock band guitarist, music producer, and (currently) a performing Jazz vocalist studying under Daniela Schächter at Berklee.

If you've read all the way here, thank you for taking this journey with me.
