I'm a User Experience Researcher and Designer
with 9+ years of experience across design, marketing, and management. My specialty is turning complex, fragmented systems into clear, intuitive experiences.
My work lies at the intersection of research, strategy, and design. I uncover real user needs and translate them into practical solutions.
I’m drawn to complex problem spaces where clarity, trust, and accessibility matter most. I thrive on bringing alignment to ambiguity across teams, problems, and experiences.
I collaborate closely with product managers, engineers, and stakeholders to deliver experiences that thoughtfully balance user needs, technical constraints, and business goals.
I’m especially motivated by mission-driven work and the opportunity to make information easier to understand, services more accessible, and systems more humane.
I believe good design should reduce friction, build confidence, and help people feel supported instead of overwhelmed.
Outside of work, you’ll usually find me traveling, practicing yoga, visiting museums, or listening to music — activities that keep me grounded, curious, and inspired.
For my next role
As I grow in my career, I’d like to continue deepening my impact and growing into a design leadership role where I can mentor other designers, advocate for research-informed decision making, and help teams build thoughtful, user-centered products from the ground up.
