Hi, I’m Charlene — an Industrial Design and Creative Technologist. I love bringing ideas to life through prototyping and turning stories into Inclusive and Tangible Experiences. With over 3 years of work experience as a branding and product designer, I discovered my true calling lies in industrial design and advocating for the disability community.
As a Graduate Student Researcher at UC Berkeley’s Disability Lab and a volunteer at the Museum of Craft and Design, I am continually inspired to bridge the gap between people and technology through innovative, creative solutions that promote inclusivity and connection.
