♡ About
Nice to meet you!
Hi! I'm Amy ♡, currently an HBSc student at the University of Toronto studying Cognitive Science, Psychology, and Computer Science.
I'm deeply curious about how people think and understand each other, especially through cognition research and exploring the big question of how the brain makes sense of the world.
Alongside that, I enjoy building things and exploring how technology can intersect with human behaviour and experience. I'm especially drawn to human-centered design and creating things that feel intuitive, meaningful, and a little bit delightful.
Outside of academics and tech, I love crocheting, pilates, painting, baking, and exploring nature trails around Toronto ໒꒱
Sincerely, Amy.
