About
I’m an interdisciplinary UX Designer and Researcher who simplifies complexity and builds connection. With a Master's in Human-Computer Interaction and years in marketing, I amplify user perspectives and design experiences from concept to development.
I define myself as:
- A tinkerer who likes to experiment and get hands-on (like how I built this website)
- A daydreamer who is excited about weaving narratives and exploring human connection
- A try-first-and-edit-later kind of do-er—the first result won't be pretty, but that's okay
