SYSTEMS THINKING
SYSTEMS THINKING
I use systems thinking to understand the broader context of product use: what happens before, during, and after a user interacts with a product. This allows me to design cohesive, end-to-end experiences that feel intuitive and connected.

INITIATIVE AND OWNERSHIP
INITIATIVE AND OWNERSHIP
As a self-taught designer, I bring initiative, autonomy, and a deep sense of ownership to my work. My design practice has been shaped by curiosity and the ability to navigate unfamiliar problems without waiting for instruction. This makes me a strong contributor in fast-paced, evolving environments.

RESEARCH-DRIVEN DESIGN
RESEARCH-DRIVEN DESIGN
I have a decade of experience in behavioral and cultural research with a PhD in Sociology from the University of Chicago. This informs the rigorous, ethical, and human-centered approach I bring to user research. I use mixed-method qualitative techniques to uncover deep user insights, minimize bias, and craft actionable findings.
