Bio

I am Charlene, an industrial Designer with a passion for inclusive design.

During my time as an undergraduate, I launched a few hardware and software projects specifically tailored to empower and assist the visually impaired community. After graduating, I worked as a brand designer, supporting fitness and food supply companies in maintaining their brand identities. My future goal is to create an inclusive environment by integrating technological innovation and design.

I am thrilled to engage with a diverse group of students and faculty from various backgrounds and areas of expertise. I am eager to learn how to optimize my abilities and explore emerging technologies that will enable me to make a positive impact on an even wider range of users.
