My Philosophy

My Philosophy

I design research-driven solutions across disciplines...

My UX mindset applies to healthcare media, digital archives, social platforms, communications - and even adult figure skating instruction!

I shape experiences into what feels magical yet familiar...

My sharp, observant, systems-aware thinking defines how I work - listening before building something that is intuitive, intentional, and transformative.

I turn ambiguity into shared understanding across teams....

I bridge communication across teams by translating designs and decisions into a shared language so we're aligned even when our tools or roles differ.

I think of the bigger picture and the people often left out of it...

I design from lived experience, listening for what’s unsaid and seeing the gaps in accessibility and inclusion - so users are centered, not accommodated.
