Value Proposition

User Research & Insight Translation

I'm skilled at conducting qualitative and quantitative research: interviews, surveys, journey mapping, and usability testing to uncover user needs and turn insights into actionable design strategies.

I'm experienced in designing user-centered digital products from discovery to delivery, using tools like Figma and Framer to prototype solutions that balance functionality, accessibility, and meet business goals.

End-to-End Product Design

I am a strong communicator who works closely with researchers, designers, developers, marketers, and stakeholders to align vision and co-create solutions.
