ππ½ Currently impacting the digital space as the Lead UX Researcher and Designer where I define problems and iterate on solutions by day. In design, I work to empathetically connect technology with people, wholeheartedly believing that good design serves a purpose to create something, well, good.
By night, Iβm pursuing my Masters degree at the University of Washington in Human Centered Design and Engineering. In between the chaos, Iβm a Lagree pilates enthusiast, beginner film photographer and amateur modern calligrapher.
Always seeking opportunities for collaboration and conversation that spark joy and creativity.
