Michelle's Portfolio

Thanks for stopping by!

I started out studying human-centered design at the University of Washington before earning my degree in Cognitive Science at UC San Diego, where I specialized in Design and Interaction with a minor in Computer Science.

Since college…

After school, I returned to the Nvidia, where I’ve been designing for complex, engineering-led teams—learning what it takes to build thoughtful software for AI and machine learning.

Outside of work, I rotate through hobbies like seasons. I’ve been an athlete all my life—these days that means weightlifting, snowboarding every winter weekend, and the occasional Spartan race.

I also find calm in ceramics and crochet: clean wheel-thrown forms, cozy winter projects.

Lately, my creative side has extended into the technical—I’ve been building this very site from scratch with Astro and DaisyUI.

I like to keep busy—lifting, snowboarding, throwing pottery, crocheting, coding my website. I dive deep into one thing at a time, then circle back when curiosity calls again.
