UX/Product Designer with a background in psychology, healthcare, and operations—focused on designing intuitive digital experiences grounded in user needs and business goals. I turn ambiguity into evidence-based product decisions by leading end-to-end work from discovery and synthesis to prototyping and usability testing. I specialize in creating clear information architectures, accessible UI systems, and interaction flows that reduce cognitive load and friction—especially in complex health and behavior-driven contexts. I enjoy cross-functional collaboration to ship thoughtful product experiences supported by research and iterative testing.
