My Story
About me

Designing Intuition

Poised at the intersection of design, computer science, and visual storytelling, I build technology that turns complex systems into intuitive, impactful experiences.

My work spans UX, product strategy, and experimental design, translating ideas into tools and systems that empower teams and end-users. After studying Architecture and Human-Computer Interaction at Carnegie Mellon, I’ve designed collaborative platforms, interactive experiences, and connected devices that simplify workflows and enhance productivity.

I’m passionate about inclusive design, creating solutions that support diverse users across industries and enable people to do their best work.
