About me

With an MS in Human-Computer Interaction and experience spanning research institutions, legal organizations, and corporate wellness platforms, I've learned that the most impactful design work happens when you genuinely understand both your users and your stakeholders.

Whether I'm learning about nematode genetics to better serve research scientists or studying funeral planning to help employees navigate life's difficult moments, I believe curiosity and empathy are a designer's most powerful tools. I specialize in the strategic complexity of improving existing products because that's where thoughtful design creates lasting value.
