About me

Before I was a designer, I studied psychology. I dove into empirical studies and facilitated research. But I wanted to do more than investigate human behavior — I wanted to build things that help people.

So I taught myself web development, creating projects that put research into action. I designed data editing tools for open-source software. Then I honed my craft through a master’s in Human-Computer Interaction + Design.

Now, I’m a senior product designer at Providence Digital Innovation, helping patients access care and navigate their health system.

My design approach reflects my journey: start with people, build with curiosity, and create with purpose.
