Katya

I am a Parsons student studying creative technology and ethics in their self-led major. I took a four year break in the middle of my undergraduate studies to study Buddhism and work internationally for one of the biggest meditation non-profits in the world. This experience taught me the profound power of discipline and the joy of taking responsibility in working for the well-being of my community and humanity at large. I believe deeply in the transformative power of design and the collective good of people. My goal is to not only contribute to the design field but also actively participate in the creation and shaping of humanitarian policies that reflect the values of freedom, peace, and integrity. Education is the catalyst that ignites imagination and opportunity — I am very fortunate to have the chance to study and work alongside some of the thought leaders in my field.
