I'm Sara Dassanayake
BOS / NJ / NYC
| B.S Computer Science & Design | Northeastern University
I'm a second-year undergraduate student and interdisciplinary designer with a love for creating innovative experiences that prioritize the users.
As a creative who enjoys working across any field, I've had the opportunity to collaborate with MIT, UC Berkeley, and Northeastern in just my first two years of college. These experiences allowed me to develop a unique perspective on UX design that spans the social, visual, and technical sides of the field.
I believe the best products are made when you design with communities, not just for them. My work with UC Berkeley documenting Pomo tribal stories taught me that the most meaningful design comes from listening first.
I also enjoy watching NBA and WNBA games, capturing memories in 35mm film, painting, and exploring hidden local gems!
