About

I work at the intersection of research, design, and strategy, translating user insights into decisions that shape products, services, and systems. My experience spans early-stage startups, enterprise consulting, and research-led academic and industry collaborations, where I have contributed to user research, data synthesis, experience design, and cross-functional delivery. I have worked on projects across group commerce platforms, government services, pharmaceutical contexts, and healthcare-adjacent systems, often navigating complex workflows, constraints, and stakeholder needs. With a foundation in Human-Centered Design and a focus on Design Management, I am interested in how research, systems thinking, and design strategy drive business value, inform product and service decisions, and improve outcomes at scale. Always open to thoughtful conversations, collaborations, and long-term professional connections.
