As an emerging UXD professional, I see design as a conversation between people and possibility. I am driven by the art of crafting interactions that feel intuitive, memorable, and deeply human. My goal is to shape spaces and experiences that resonate with those who must use them now and into the future.

 

Working as a member of the UX design team to contribute to the Daily Living Labs project deepened my understanding of what it means to design on behalf of someone different from myself. By planning and conducting secondary user research, one-on-one interviews, and hands-on workshops with adults living with disabilities, I uncovered what true independence means to the people who fight for it daily, and channeled those insights into an arm-free toothbrushing system that puts some autonomy back within reach.

The Dawn Patrol project started with a simple question: why do so many golf scoring software (and the apps that facilitate their operation) ignore so many crucial aspects of the way most people actually play? As a freelance UI designer, I designed over 30 screens that make the game feel as social and flexible on your phone as it does on the course.

Emergencies don't pause for confusion. “Apple ER Mode” reimagines what an iOS-based app can do to help trauma victims and their caregivers in the moments immediately after a crisis occurrence that matter most. It functions in ways that help these people seamlessly navigate from their homes or accident sites to the right hospital entrance in a way that ensures the triage staff working there have critical patient information in advance.
