Hello!

I am a passionate researcher & designer based out of Chicago. My design journey began at Northern Illinois University earning my Bachelor of Fine Arts in Visual Communication. Itching to learn more, I pursued Human Computer Interaction at DePaul University where I received my Masters in June 2025.

When not designing...

I am a pet parent to a pair of bonded cats named Sora & Suzy. Movies and music albums are my favorite forms of media and pop culture. Here are my recommendations:

Movies

Shin Godzilla (2016)

Blade Runner 2049 (2017)

La Haine (1995)

Everything Everywhere All at Once (2022)

Music

Orpheus vs. the Sirens by Hermit and the Recluse (2018)

ZUU by Denzel Curry (2019)

SOS by SZA (2022)

FAQs

How do I embrace ambiguity?

I ground the problem in research by identifying assumptions and gathering early qualitative and quantitative insights. This allows me to reframe the challenge with evidence.

What tools & methods do I use?

TOOLS: Figma, Adobe Suite, ATLAS.ti, Dovetail, Optimal Workshop

METHODS: Interviews, RITE Method, A/B Testing, Think-aloud Protocols

Collaboration starts with a conversation. Let's chat!
