About Me
From architecture to human-centered research, my training taught me to think in systems, read environments, and ask better questions. Where I thrive is in the space between research and design — gathering and synthesizing what people actually do, need, and feel, and translating those insights into clear design direction. I pick apart everyday experiences to understand what isn't working and why, then bring those findings forward into solutions that feel intuitive and trustworthy. I am drawn to the kind of problems that reveal something true about how people actually live.
