About
I work across disciplines to research and design new ideas and positive change. I hope to enrich lives by creating helpful and intentional products, services and experiences.
As a curious detective
I’m interested in how the world works and how it can work better — exploring how things act separately and as one.
After 6PM, I’m found listening to podcasts and audiobooks to learn about all kinds of things — from washing machines to barcodes.
As an empathetic creature
I’m driven to better understand how different people see, feel and experience the world.
In my spare time, I surround myself with new people (like here!) and go to new places (like here!) to experience new cultures.
As a (proud!) introvert
I’m a keen observer and active listener. My reflective approach helps me create a meaningful and intentional impact.
On the weekends, I’m found creating occasion cakes to celebrate my family and friends, until their teeth crack! Alternatively, I'm exploring the latest coffee and brunch spots, along with a bit of people-watching.
As a T-shaped design hybrid
Expanding my learning helps me approach every problem from many angles and through many lenses. My toolbox includes:
— Human-Centered Design
— Design Research
– Synthesis and Ideation
— UX/UI Design
— Strategic Design
— Service Design
— Brand + Communication Design
— Workshop facilitation
— Universal Design [WIP]
— Systems Design [WIP]
