About Me

Hello, my name is Alexia Asgari.

I am a Creative Design Technologist, currently studying at the Harvard Graduate School of Design. I have always had a passion for the interdisciplinary intersections of design.

In undergrad, I studied Architecture at Cornell University with a minor in Perceptual Cognition

I first explored the integration of technology, biology, and material science to architecture in the Jenny Sabin Design Lab. My undergraduate minor of perceptual cognition allowed me to further explore the facinating ways neuroscience can inform design.

I am constantly seeking new challenges and new ways to learn. I am excited for opportunities to explore links between human cognition, technology, and design.
