Hello there! I’m Sapna, a senior studying
Industrial Design and Human-Computer
Interaction at Carnegie Mellon University.


I work on human-factors and driver systems on our FSAE racing team, and research
fabrication technologies and shape-changing structures at CMU's HCI Institute. I strive
to craft empathetic solutions, joyful experiences and build objects designed to last.
