I’m a Product Designer with a strong foundation in Human-Centered Design, focused on building intuitive and impactful digital experiences that balance user needs with business outcomes. I approach design as a systems-level problem, grounded in research, shaped by strategy, and refined through iteration.What sets me apart is my ability to operate across the full product lifecycle, from early discovery research and defining problem spaces to crafting scalable interaction patterns and delivering polished high-fidelity solutions. I am comfortable navigating ambiguity, aligning cross-functional teams, and translating insights into actionable product decisions.I thrive in collaborative environments, working closely with product managers, engineers, and researchers to ship thoughtful, data-informed products that drive measurable impact.Core competencies: Product Thinking · User Research · Interaction Design · Prototyping · Design Systems · Information Architecture · Usability Testing · A/B Testing · Accessibility (WCAG) · Figma · Cross-functional Collaboration · Stakeholder CommunicationCurrently pursuing my Master’s in Human Computer Interaction and Design at the University of Washington, Seattle.
