ABOUT ME

Hi, I’m Reina!

With my love for design and technology, I aspire to make products through a user-centered mindset.

As a current MS in Human-Centered Design and Engineering student at the University of Washington and holding a BS in Business Analytics from the University of Southern California, I continue to pursue my passion in building products in the tech space.

My multidisciplinary background bridges design, business, and engineering, with experience in B2B/B2C software in startups.

Aside from work, I am a cat-mom who loves to game, illustrate, cook, and run in my free time!
