Hey there!
I'm Alexandria \(•◡•)/
I'm a 4th year studying Informatics with a concentration in HCI at the University of California, Irvine. I used to leave the creative arts to my sister, but digital media and video editing drew me to infographics and digital design. Being a Ravenclaw, I started exploring UX/UI design and research, and pairing it with my innate problem solving skills has allowed me to excel in the area.
Balance is a trait that I try to weave into my life since I really value equal measures of socializing, work/academics, and of course sleep. I love going on walks and hikes, cooking any and all asian food, and finding a new show to watch. My inclination of connecting with others doesn’t end when I clock out as my podcast choices center around connections, problem solving, and the human story. My dream is to travel the world meeting new people and experiencing different cultures. Being a Percy Jackson fan only reinforced Greece as my dream travel destination!
Chat with me about ...
📺 TV Shows
If it has appeared on the Netflix Trending series I've probably watched it, but I don't discriminate against Hulu or HBO! Some of my favorites are Criminal Minds, The Umbrella Academy, The Originals, and anything Disney/Nickelodeon form the 2000s.
🗺️ Travelling
One of my goals in life is to get to a point where I can travel and explore the world with my friends and family. My dream travel destination is Greece because of the stunning scenery, the amazing food, and my Greek mythology obsession back in 5th grade.
🍰 Cooking & Baking
I've definitely been influenced by my family, but making food is one of the ways I show my love and appreciation. It's also probably because I'm just a foodie at heart. I'm by no means good at it, but it's something I really enjoy especially after quarantine (I love making Asian cuisine).
6️⃣ The Enneagram
I recently became really interested in personality tests and think that the enneagram is super (almost scarily) accurate! I'm a type 6 and reading about this personality type made me feel so self aware.
🎙️ Podcasts
I think podcasts are a super underrated medium of entertainment. When going on a walk or for long drives, I love listening to podcasts since it feels so engaging and that I'm part of the conversation. Some of my favorites are Unsolicited Advice, BFFs Podcast, and any DIVE Studios Podcasts!
