ABOUT
As a product designer, I aim to create intuitive, equitable experiences through high-quality, data-informed designs while ensuring business goals are met.
In my past lives, I worked in healthcare and abroad as an English teacher where I engaged with people whose needs and perspectives varied greatly from my own. During this time, I saw firsthand the flaws in the systems that were meant to serve these populations, and I realized the impact design has in solving human-centered challenges. This sparked my interest in how people interact with technology, leading me to pursue a career in design.
I have 4 years of experience in utilizing the end-to-end research and design process with special interests in accessibility design and global user research/design. I have led research in EA IT's design system, conducted numerous Accessibility research studies at Xbox and designed for various non-profits to ensure experiences were enjoyable and rooted in empathy.
