Allison Pham ✦

Engineering & designHCI & space systems

I build through the intersection of tech, engineering, and product to develop projects and initiatives geared towards impact from the ground up.

I work on designing products that target the architecture behind how others think, decide, and act. I'm driven by the desire to ensure every system feeling like an extension of the mind, not a constraint on it.

Productivity mixed in with resilient serendipity and serenity are my current targets. Thoughtful design and product engineering are a constant passion of mine.
