About Me
I’m a human-centered researcher and strategist who picks apart the everyday to make it work better for people. I study the small frictions buried in routines to uncover what isn’t working, then translate those insights into solutions that feel intuitive, trustworthy, and genuinely useful. At the intersection of research, strategy, and design, I use evidence to cut through noise and help humans thrive.
Architecture School
I trained in architecture, where I loved framing complex problems, analyzing site contexts, and translating abstract ideas into clear conceptual narratives and physical spaces. I came to life when creating analytical diagrams and weaving research into designs that were meaningfully connected to people and context.
Why I'm Pivoting
As I grew in the architecture world, I realized I wanted to be closer to the people my work was meant to support. I was energized by understanding behavior and shaping solutions quickly, not by the slow and rigid cycles of traditional practice. This pull led me toward research and strategy, where iteration is expected, human insight drives decisions, and the impact of design becomes tangible in the rhythms of everyday life.
Beyond the Studio
Now I am studying Design Innovation at Northwestern University, where I explore human-centered research, strategy, and rapid prototyping in collaborative, real-world projects. Beyond my studio space, I chase the same values that guide my work. Whether I am out on a trail hiking, in a lab prototyping, or with users observing, I am drawn to environments that invite exploration, learning, and movement. My best ideas tend to surface somewhere between a long walk and a messy sketch, where the spark catches light.
