About

​

My path to product design has not been linear. But that non-linear path has become one of my strongest advantages.

​

I work at the intersection of psychology, design, research, and digital experience. My background allows me to translate ideas across disciplines and create product concepts that connect human behavior, emotional experience, and interaction design.

​

I began with a bachelor’s degree in urban design, where I learned to think about how environments shape human behavior. Urban design taught me to design for people: for accessibility, usability, movement, comfort, and everyday experience.

​

Later, through a master’s degree in psychology, I developed a strong foundation in research methods, data analysis, interviewing, behavioral observation, and user-centered evaluation. This gave me the ability to understand not only how people use a system, but also how they think, feel, hesitate, avoid, and adapt.

​

My academic work then moved toward neuroscience and virtual environments. I became interested in how different digital and spatial contexts affect the brain, perception, emotion, and accessibility. This experience shaped the way I now think about digital products: not just as screens, but as environments that can influence attention, emotion, and behavior.

​

In recent years, I have focused on designing well-being experiences for younger generations. My current work explores how psychology, game design, AI, and visual storytelling can come together to make emotional skills more approachable, repeatable, and engaging.

​

Outside of work, I’m easygoing, curious, and creatively driven. I sing in local jazz bands, care about fitness, and enjoy exploring ideas across art, science, and human experience.

​

One of my strongest design advantages is empathy. Because my own path has crossed different disciplines, cultures, and life situations, I pay close attention to how people feel when systems confuse, overwhelm, or exclude them. I want to design digital experiences that feel clear, supportive, and human.
