About Me

Good design only works when it genuinely serves the people using it. That means understanding the problem before reaching for a solution, and that conviction has shaped everything I do.
My background spans cognitive science, interaction design, and HCI, with a focus on healthcare. I've worked embedded in ophthalmology and gastroenterology clinics, shadowing clinicians and translating complex workflows into design opportunities. These experiences taught me that healthcare design requires both rigor and empathy, and a willingness to sit with ambiguity.
Now in Northwestern's Engineering Design Innovation program, I collaborate across medicine, engineering, design and business to design experiences that are built around people.
