About

As a UX professional, I’ve spent years immersed in designing thoughtful, intuitive experiences that connect users with products in meaningful ways. I’ve worked across multiple industries and had the privilege of collaborating with talented teams to bring ideas to life from sketches to polished interfaces. I find genuine joy in creating products and learning from the experiences. Currently, I’m deepening my research & design skills as a UX Research & Design student at the University of Michigan, where I’m learning to apply robust research methods to inform and inspire design. I’ve also had the chance to mentor other designers along the way, helping them develop their skills and find their own approaches to creative problem-solving. This experience has been rewarding, and I look forward to continuing to share knowledge and grow alongside other design professionals. Feel free to reach out if you’re interested to talk/hire.
