about.

Hi (again), I'm Anika! I design with the belief that tech should feel less like a tool and more like a natural extension of how we think, feel, and interact with the world.

As you might have guessed, I really love music. All the way back in middle school, I helped build a Music and Memory program at a local nursing home in Connecticut. We created personalized playlists for residents with dementia, and it was incredible to see how one familiar tune could bring back a whole world of memories.

I became obsessed with the intersection of art, technology, and the brain. How can we use emotionally aware technology to unlock these powerful connections?

It sent me down some wonderfully winding paths. As an immunology researcher fascinated by the brain-body connection, a software engineer building things from the ground up, a computational neuroscience researcher decoding how we think, an AR/VR UX researcher exploring adaptive interfaces, and now, as a product designer tying it all together.
