I'm a strategic Researcher and Designer who creates human-centered products, services, and experiences. I adapt my approach to each project's unique challenges, developing new skills and methods as needed because complex problems require tailored solutions. My strength lies at the intersection of rigorous research and strategic thinking — I uncover deep user insights and translate them into actionable strategies through collaborative partnerships.
I’m seeking a research or design role with a company that values both evidence-based decision making and strategic vision, on a team where design and research work closely together.
I believe in using design methods to center community needs and transform systems at their core. By doing so, we can dismantle inequities and create more just, inclusive futures for everyone.

Clients
I’ve worked with a wide range of clients from corporations to startups to non-profits. This has allowed me to develop an understanding of the unique challenges and priorities within different industries.
In both for-profit and NGO spaces, I’ve been fortunate to work with clients that see the value of centering opportunities for underserved groups: women, LGBTQIA+ folks, people of color and youth.

CHANGE IS POSSIBLE
THROUGH DESIGN
"The future can't be predicted, but it can be envisioned and brought lovingly into being. Systems can't be controlled, but they can be designed and redesigned.
We can listen to what the system tells us, and discover how its properties and our values can work together to bring forth something much better than can ever be produced by our will alone."
