I’m a Product Designer based in the US, passionate about solving complex, meaningful problems through research, prototyping, and behavioral design. I create human-centered digital experiences that are functional and empowering.
With 5 years of experience across early-stage startups, and a Master’s in Emerging Media Design & HCI, I specialize in turning insights and data into purposeful, inclusive, and accessible products. My design philosophy blends systems thinking with creative experimentation.
My favorite part of the process is discovering insights that unlock real human value.
I don’t just design for performance, I design for impact. My work often focuses on automation, personalization, and accessibility, especially where they intersect with learning, well-being, and social change.

My Life Before UX
My Life Before UX
Before entering the UX world, I was an English teacher for children, designing simple, joyful educational games to help them learn. I experimented constantly, observing how each tweak changed their engagement. If it didn’t light them up, I iterated. If it made them laugh or lean in, I built on it. That same curiosity and drive to empower others still fuels my design practice today.

My Life Beyond UX
My Life Beyond UX
• Solving puzzles, chess, Sudoku, or a good jigsaw
• Reading design or philosophy books
• Deep in a new course (I love learning just as much as designing)
• Exercising to reset my body and mind



TL;DR

I design AI-powered, learning-centered experiences that help people grow, solve real problems, and feel empowered.
