I’m a UX and product designer who loves turning complex ideas into clear, testable experiences—especially where interface design meets real-world safety and usability. Recently, I led end-to-end design work for a future EV interface, developing information architecture and interaction flows across a driver cluster, central display, and a companion mobile app. I also bring strong research and prototyping habits from prior work, including scenario-based studies and concept validation for a multi-user learning experience. I enjoy designing the “connection layer” between systems, improving onboarding and workflow visibility, and using LLM-assisted development and design-to-code thinking to move from insight to prototype quickly.…
