Hi, I'm Aya :)

I'm an Operations Manager and Designer at Capella Systems , a video software company based in the Bay Area, CA. Apart from my various operations duties, I handle all the design at Capella, including our website, tradeshow booth design, ads and flyers, and company swag. i also help advise on the design and accessibility of our transcoding/live encoding software UI.

During my time at UC Santa Cruz, I studied Psychology and Legal Studies and took on a writing tutoring role, a research assistant job, a field study internship under a high school psychologist, and a CUIP internship at UCSC’s CARE Office. In my senior year, I decided to pursue a career in UX. After graduating summa cum laude, I became a DesignLab student and learned how to use my strong problem solving, research, and creative skills to create thoughtful designs that are both pleasing to look at and use.
