Designing with Purpose, Driven by Insight
I am a UX Designer with over 10 years of experience and a strong focus on research-driven design. With a diverse background spanning UX consulting, startup experience, and academic research, I believe I am uniquely positioned to transform complexity into user-friendly solutions.
I am highly analytical, calm under pressure, and able to create clear and concise design solutions. I take accountability for my work and believe in always being honest and kind in my interactions with others.
