hi, I’m Theo
I’m a product designer, photographer,
and cognitive science student at UC Berkeley.
In both design and art,
I’m trying to understand how people feel—
and how thoughtful choices can make that better.
My journey with design started before I even knew what design was.
I’ve always had a deep appreciation for subtle design details in the modern world—the satisfying click of a dial in a car, the gentle thud of a closing door, the curves of a typeface (shoutout Product Sans).
That same attention carries into how I observe nature: the countless rain recordings tucked away in my voice memos, or the distant mountain haze I keep trying to capture with a camera.
The world is full of quiet choices and subtle details that shape how we feel—and we often don’t even notice them.
At Berkeley, I’ve been just as fascinated by how people work—their habits, their attention, and how they make sense of the world. It’s what drew me to cognitive science and to my work as a perception researcher.
I love the way behavior, no matter how human and spontaneous, still follows certain patterns that we can study, question, and design for.
When I found design, it felt like the intersection of all these threads: a place where empathy, aesthetics, creativity, and structure come together.
I get to care about the tiny details and the big picture.
I get to understand people, solve problems, and make tools that feel intuitive, human, and kind.
If you like design, photography, or just thinking about how people work—let’s talk :)
