Hello

As a senior UX designer, I leverage product strategy, UX, service design, and design research to make meaningful product impact. I have a degree in Human Centered Design & Engineering and spent the past 4 years growing my strategic UX toolkit professionally. I've valued diversifying my experience both in-house, delivering 0 to 1 MVP products and tackling big design questions across tech, medical, and finance sectors.

 

Before I dove into human centered design, I had a past life in molecular biology. I spent three years studying natural sciences and working in research labs because understanding the physiological systems behind our daily life and asking big questions gave me energy and made me feel more connected with the human experience. I made the leap from natural science to Human-Computer Interaction because it connected my systems thinking and research-based curiosity with a collaborative and creative medium for solving problems with and for people.
