I’m a design researcher with a background in data visualization, human-centered design, and behavioral research. I enjoy exploring how people interact with complex systems and data, and I translate those insights into clear, meaningful experiences. I’m especially focused on translating complex technical information into understandable, useful guidance for both technical and non-technical users. I’ve collaborated with multidisciplinary teams to connect research, data, and design, and to support more informed, user-centered decisions.
