About Me

I am a product designer with a background in law.


I started in law, drawn to systems thinking and a desire to help people. Over time, I realized I wanted to be more directly involved in shaping solutions through creativity and collaboration. Now, as a product designer, I bring the same analytical rigor and attention to detail to designing experiences that are meaningful, thoughtful, and delightful.


Graduated with a Master of Human-Computer Interaction + Design,
