UX Strategist and Designer who enjoys solving complicated problems to create positive and engaging experiences.

My approach to researching and designing purposeful products is to understand the user’s behavior, uncover the opportunities, and design the experience forward while collaborating with a cross-disciplinary team. I live for the exciting moment when insights and the unknown turn into features and a useful product.

My favorite products to date have been creating a citizen scientist app that encourages the collection of plant phenology data in order to help understand the widespread effects of climate change. And designing a quality improvement application to help healthcare organizations lower the blood pressure of their hypertension patients. 

Design must positively improve the lives of people — which is my reason to continue solving problems, creatively.
