About me
Hi, I'm Maleah!
I am currently a student at Rice University studying Computer Science and Cognitive Science with a minor in Anthropology. I am a product designer passionate about solving human problems through technology, with a passion for accessibility.
In my free time, I enjoy hiking 🌿, thrifting 👕, coding 💻, and playing video games 🎮. My favorite TV show at the moment is Supernatural. Learn more about my journey below!
How I (Accidentally) found Design
Ever since I can remember, I've been curious about the human past. I've spent hours collecting coins and rocks, which inspired me to explore the deeper mysteries of archaeology. I wanted to understand how humans interacted with the earth, creating these artifacts that have stood the test of time.
And it wasn't just rocks and coins. Soon, I was also drawn to technology and the endless possibilities to learn and create. I was fascinated by the ability of technology to connect people and transform lives across cultures.
Through this journey, I discovered my passion to create change through user-centered design.
I found importance in choosing humans everyday, and translating business questions to human questions in the world of design. I empathize with people to understand their needs and craft stories dedicated towards improving the lives of what it means to be human. Because this is what I believe creates real impact.
Today, I strive to put users first and create entirely universal accessible experiences. I aim to push the boundaries of design to unify human cultures and bring the past into the future.
My design thinking process
01 Good design is invisible.
02 We cannot solve our problems with the same level of thinking that created them.
03 Listen first and solve second.
These tools help me bring my process to life!
