About

Hack4Impact is the University of Maryland's premiere nonprofit software development club, building digital tools for nonprofit organizations, which means the design team is never just working on one thing.

I started as a Product Designer in 2023 where I designed low to high fidelity Figma prototypes for education platforms serving K–12 students in Maryland, including Y-Knot and All Districts Read. I sat in on weekly client meetings to pull real requirements, then worked sprint to sprint with product managers and engineers to develop a finished product.

In 2025 I moved into Co-Director of Design, overseeing every product designer in the club and designing club assets.

Project Showcase is where every team presents what they've built that semester, to sponsors, alumni, and the rest of campus.
