I know my way around matchmaking for AI capabilities and user needs, prototyping LLM and agentic interactions (thanks to vibecoding), and helping AI engineers optimize for conversation design.

I recently completed my master’s in Human-Computer Interaction from Carnegie Mellon University ↗. I previously graduated from Washington University in St. Louis ↗ focusing on psychology, anthropology, and human-computer interaction.

"Brenna is open to ideas and will happily take on any task she is given and create a well-done thought-out product. She has a very positive attitude and adds a good atmosphere to the group dynamic."

"Was very innovative throughout the entire process and came up with very unique solutions for many of the issues we were having revolving around our concepts."

"Brenna was really good at diving into the prototyping of our ideas. She made amazing progress on user research along with aesthetic designs for our app. The screens she produced were really great and helped our team in creating our final documentation."
