Get in touch

My UX journey began with a deep curiosity and desire to help people. Starting in counseling, then moving into user research, I discovered a natural ability to surface insights for shaping successful human-centered experiences.

The passion for understanding user needs led me to product design, where I translated insights into intuitive interfaces and became a Lead Product Designer.

Now, as a Sr. UX Researcher and former UX Research Manager, I deliver strategic and product-level insights, fostering a collaborative environment where cross-functional teams work together to bridge the gap between user needs and business success.
