About Me

Hello, my name is Alexia Asgari.

I am a Creative Design Technologist and a recent graduate of 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 in architecture while working in the Jenny Sabin Design Lab. My undergraduate minor in perceptual cognition allowed me to further delve into the fascinating ways neuroscience can inform design.

Now, as a graduate, I am eager to take on new challenges and further explore the intersections between human cognition, technology, and design in innovative and impactful ways.
