Avey Songco Email and Phone Number
Hi there! My name is Avey (pronounced like Abby but with a "v") and I am an innovation designer from LA now based in the Bay Area. I attended the University of California, Berkeley and received my B.S. in Industrial Engineering, minor in Global Poverty and Practice, and certificates in Design Innovation as well as in Entrepreneurship and Technology. I am passionate about the intersection between engineering and design with social inequities and community empowerment. I also love everything music! I DJ, play the piano, and when I'm not working I'm volunteering at concerts see some of my favorite artists. Feel free to connect! avey.songco@ibm.com
