About Me

I’m a multidisciplinary problem-solver with a background in Cognitive Science and a Master’s in Integrated Design, Business, and Technology. My career sits at the intersection of design, research, and product management, where I bring a systems-level mindset and a human-centered approach to tackling complex problems. Across roles in both startups and enterprise teams, I’ve led discovery research, translated insights into strategy, and collaborated cross-functionally to design experiences that make knowledge more accessible and workflows more intuitive. My strength lies in uncovering unspoken needs and friction points—and turning them into solutions that balance user empathy with strategic impact. I’m especially interested in how AI can be used to enhance human-centered design: not as a substitute for empathy, but as a tool to accelerate insights, reveal patterns, and help us create smarter, scalable solutions.
