I am a user experience designer with an engineering and education background focusing on human-centered solutions.
Through Lean UX principles, I listen and learn from users to design relevant and impactful products. Having worked in business, health, and education fields, I know how to connect the dots and collaborate with diverse groups of people to come up with effective solutions.
A generalist at heart, I enjoy working in cross-disciplinary fields, but am not afraid to dive deep into areas to get things done.
