Background

I'm a multidisciplinary UX researcher and strategist, endlessly curious about the invisible threads that shape how people think, feel, and act. From studying Cognitive Science at DePaul to navigating the dynamic worlds of startups and large organizations, I've learned to embrace ambiguity as a powerful invitation for discovery. I enjoy decoding hidden patterns beneath human behavior and translating insights into remarkable user experiences. I believe the best products emerge when we lean into curiosity, embracing challenges and learning constantly.

My Approach

To use the Layout Jump Preventer component in Framer, place it at the top level inside a component. You can set the direction to vertical (default) to animate only height changes, horizontal to animate only width changes, or both to animate both width and height changes smoothly.

Hear Deeply

Listening beyond words, using empathetic interviews and observational methods to truly understand user feelings, frustrations, and desires.

Uncover the Why

Applying cognitive psychology and behavioral insights to decode user behaviors, ensuring research captures what users really think and do.

Make Insights Meaningful

Synthesizing research into clear, actionable stories that resonate with stakeholders, promoting alignment and decisive action.

Articulate Stories

Communicating insights compellingly through user stories and narratives, driving alignment and clarity across teams.

Nurture
Iteration

Guiding design strategy based on continuous learning, adapting proactively to shifting user needs and behaviors.

Things I Love

I cherish volunteering because community is important to me. My notable contributions include leading the Adventure Catalyst group to Akamai, breaking new ground in robotics at Google’s Solve for X, and Deloitte’s Impact Days, among others. Apart from research, I enjoy immersing myself in nature, riding a bicycle, and exploring strategies that help us live happier, healthier, and more productive lives.
