Hi, I’m a UX designer with a background in healthcare and a deep appreciation for elegant and thoughtful designs. As a former pediatric occupational therapist, I developed a strong foundation in understanding complex diagnoses, observing behavior patterns, and analyzing how cognitive, emotional, and environmental factors shape human decision-making. Crafting creative, personalized treatment plans taught me to deeply study motivation, behavior, and real-world constraints — a process that naturally evolved into my passion for UX/Product Design. Today, I apply these same psychology-informed insights to create intuitive, user-centered digital experiences that feel meaningful and truly usable. My goal is to design products that not only function well but also connect with the people who use them.
