About Me
As a designer, researcher, and leader
I am passionate about the rigorous process of research, analysis, and synthesis to create user-centered design solutions. I use contextual research methods to observe people's behaviors and understand users to best design solutions that are intuitive and engaging. I enjoy empathizing with people and care about adding value to people's lives, but I also think strategically for brands and organizations. In everything I design, I begin with the brand and find creative ways to cultivate brand identity.
An inquisitive mind, colorful post-its, and a marker set is how I set off to understand existing realities in order to create better experiences for people.
