Meet the Team
Claudia Wongsakvanich
Designer
I’m a UX/UI designer based in New York, currently pursuing a Master of Science in Human-Centered Design at Pace University. With a background in marketing, I bring a unique perspective to my design work, leveraging my understanding of user needs to create delightful experiences. I am passionate about blending my marketing insights with my design skills.
Outside of design, I enjoy watching anime, K-drama, and K-pop. My safe spot is under my blanket on my bed. I also can’t resist a good bowl of ramen!
Shannon Li
Product Manager
Hey there! I’m Shannon, an aspiring product manager driven by the goal of making a lasting impact and fostering meaningful connections in this constantly evolving world.
With a foundation in Human-Centered Design, Psychology and Advertising, I excel in understanding user needs, translating insights into user-centered solutions. Outside of work, I enjoy people watching, exploring museums, satisfying my wanderlust through travel, and creating aesthetically pleasing content.
As an individual, I’m curious, compassionate, and always ready to acquire new knowledge. Let’s connect and explore possibilities together!
Anoop Pakki
Story Teller
I’m a tech innovator dedicated to exploring the intersection of design principles and technology. With a solid foundation in computer science, I have developed expertise in cybersecurity, blockchain, artificial intelligence, and the IoT. Currently, I’m studying Human-Centered Design at Pace University, where my projects involve social innovation, design principles, and user research.
My mission is to develop solutions that advance technology while also improving quality of life and contributing to a more equitable future. I’m enthusiastic to collaborate on projects that are both challenging and have the potential to make a meaningful, lasting difference.
Mark Goberdhan
Technologist
Sometimes I’m a Software Engineer, most of the time I’m a Human-Centered Design grad student at Pace University. My goal is to merge my skills and become a Design Systems Engineer—bridging the gap between design and code to shape products from ideation to deployment.
Beyond the technical, I bring a golden personality to the table. I work well with anyone and love adding humor to the room. As for hobbies? I’m a serial hobbyist who enjoys exploring new things just to see how far I can take them. Right now, I’m sticking with piano, boxing, cooking, and, of course, coding.
