About

I’m a designer, educator, and researcher focused on creating human-centred experiences that make learning accessible, intuitive, and inspiring. My practice combines design thinking with educational insight, understanding how people learn, how they engage with technology, and how thoughtful design can bridge those worlds. I approach problems holistically, moving fluidly from research and synthesis to prototyping, testing, and refinement.

With experience teaching and mentoring diverse learners, I bring a deep empathy for educators and an understanding of real classroom dynamics. My design work is grounded in systems thinking, curiosity, and clarity, balancing user needs, educational value, and technical feasibility. I’m particularly interested in how emerging AI tools can enhance creative learning and support teachers through transparent, ethical, and empowering design.
