A Product/User Experience Designer.

For the past three years, I’ve worked with early-stage startups and nonprofits, where constraints are constant. I focus on aligning user needs, business goals, and technical limitations into clear, intentional solutions.My strength lies in systems thinking, cross-functional collaboration, and a detail-focused mindset that elevates both usability and craft.

How I Think & Learn

I love reading books and listening to podcasts to stay inspired and spark new design ideas.

User Research:


Good research isn’t about validation — it’s about learning. Ask about what people actually do, not what they say they would do.

Product Thinking:


Build products as systems, not just feature sets. Every decision carries long-term consequences, so design with responsibility and durability.

Problem Solving:


Structure the problem before jumping to solutions.

Clarify users, goals, constraints, and trade-offs.

I enjoy traveling and noticing how culture and everyday life shape a place. I like reading, writing, and visiting museums to better understand people and their environments. When I’m not working, you’ll usually find me at a coffee shop, or taking care of my betta fish ( ´ ▽  )`
