DESIGNER + RESEARCHER

I pursued design research because I liked the "Why" behind building products more than the "How". Now I build consumer experiences driven by intention, strategy, and the belief that good design should work for everyone.

I leverage 3+ years of experience researching and designing across startups and B2C products at scale. Most recently, researching accessible AI interactions @Google.
