About

I'm drawn to design problems that are messy under the hood - enterprise tools, AI-powered features, data-heavy platforms where the real work is making something complicated feel effortless. At Ascendion, I recently completed a VR training platform for a biopharmaceutical client, designing safety-critical SOP modules used by trainees across the organization. I'm now designing an internal mobile application end-to-end, across mobile and web. Before that, fintech and ad-tech different industries, same kind of challenge: technical, high-stakes, and easy to get wrong if you're not careful. I lean on research to get there, interviews, usability testing, heuristic evaluation rather than assumptions. A CS background helps me speak the same language as engineers and data teams, and my Design education shaped how I think about design and research together. Always happy to talk shop about complex, meaningful design problems. Feel free to reach out!
