My experience ranges from inclusive, adaptive footwear prototypes to mixed-reality interfaces for astronauts, and digital mental health UI tools for teens. Across these projects, I’ve developed strong skills in identifying user needs in challenging environments and synthesizing patterns into UX strategy, design direction, and iterative prototypes. I’ve designed and facilitated co-creation workshops with diverse user groups, including teens and university IRB participants, as well as disabled individuals, occupational therapists, and astronauts.

As someone who is hard of hearing, accessibility is especially meaningful to me. I’ve experienced firsthand how thoughtful design can extend what people can do, rather than simply accommodate what they can’t. This perspective drives my goal of building technology that centers users, their needs, motivations, and even unconscious behaviors, by directly supporting product teams in making decisions grounded in empathy and evidence.

My mission is to craft immersive, accessible, and human-centered experiences that genuinely serve all individuals through evidence and empathy.
