Summary I thrive on transforming complex problems into simple, user-friendly solutions. By combining qualitative and quantitative research, I design experiences that are intuitive, effective, and in line with business objectives. I care deeply about making life easier for real people — and I instill that same mindset in the teams I lead. Whether mentoring engineers or collaborating across disciplines, I focus on clarity, empathy, and impact.
