I am a senior UX researcher and designer with a PhD in Human-Computer Interaction. I help cross-functional teams translate complex user needs into practical, yet meaningful product improvements through user-centered design. I value collaboration, sharing knowledge, and pushing for evidence-based decision making across agile teams to raise the quality of UX across the organization. As a hands-on engineer with experience in highly regulated and technical domains such as healthcare and mobile technologies, I design and evaluate solutions from research through prototyping. I lead UX efforts across multiple projects, mentor teams to raise quality and impact, and strive to build robust UX practices that scale with the business.
