About Us

We are a team of five master’s students, at the Human-Computer Interaction Institute at Carnegie Mellon University. We came from diverse backgrounds but with a common passionate heart in research and design!

Daniela Marmolejos

After graduating from Virginia Tech, she was a consultant at PwC for 3 years.  Wanting to solve more user centered problems, she came to CMU’s MHCI progam.  During her free time, she loves to sing (fun fact: she is classically trained!), sketch and explore new cities.
