About
Product builder with curiosity & empathy.
I work across product, design, and technology, with a background in human-centered design and computer science.
I’m drawn to ambiguous problems — when user needs are still taking shape, information is scattered, or there isn’t an obvious path forward. I like figuring out what actually matters, making connections across different perspectives, and turning complexity into something clear enough to act on.
My process moves between research, strategy, prototyping, and making. I use AI deliberately to explore possibilities, synthesize information, and build faster — but I care more about the judgment behind the product: what problem is worth solving, what to prioritize, and how an experience should feel to people.
Across my work, I’m interested in building products that feel thoughtful, intuitive, and genuinely useful — while preserving the human context that technology can easily overlook.
Outside of work, I enjoy jigsaw puzzles, nail art, hiking, and exploring coffee shops around the city.
