About
Mission
My mission is to craft experiences that are both impactful and human-centered. Ensuring that they are grounded in empathy and evidence-based research. I thrive on solving complex challenges by uncovering user needs and transforming them into thoughtful, accessible solutions. I enjoy working within multidisciplinary teams to ensure every decision is informed by diverse perspectives and shared goals.
I’m primarily a UX Researcher & Designer, but have my origins in Architectural Design. The process of designing physical spaces or digital experiences, both start with empathy— understanding user needs to create seamless, functional environments. Whether it be crafting elegant facades or shaping intuitive interfaces, I’ve learned that the balance of form, function, and aesthetics is what makes an experience truly memorable and impactful.
My most valuable skill is staying curious and empathetic — always open to learning, questioning, and understanding. Whether in the office or life outside work, I believe real impact comes from listening deeply, staying open-minded, and constantly growing through the process.

Life outside work
When I’m not immersed in user research or designing solutions, I’m often looking to the stars — literally. As a self-proclaimed space nerd, I love keeping up with space exploration and the latest tech developments that push the boundaries of what we know. On Earth, I’m drawn to road trips and hiking adventures, where I can explore new places and recharge in nature.
Creativity is my way to unwind and recharge. I enjoy strumming my guitar to relax after busy weeks or diving into my hobbies of photography, videography, and digital collage art. There’s something deeply fulfilling about creating, whether it’s a piece of art or a moment captured on film.
Here are three of my favorite collages i’ve worked on so far — a small glimpse into the joy I find in visual storytelling:
