I’m excited to get to know you.

I’m an emerging UX researcher and designer, with a unique approach to the discipline. My background is in high-level academic psychology research, so I bring an analytic mind to common UX problems. Whenever there’s a question of how to proceed, I always look to the data. Data helps us understand our users; understanding our users helps us create the best possible designs. Psychology offers many insights into how users respond to our design, allowing me to add another layer of knowledge to the traditional laws of UX. My academic background helps me make research-based design decisions and create ethical products.

I recently completed my honors thesis at UC Irvine on support seeking on Lose It!, a diet and fitness app. Interdisciplinary projects like these have shown my experience collaborating with academics, industry professionals, and peers of all backgrounds. I’m a published author, having previously researched eating disorder symptomology in another diet and fitness app. My past work helps inform some of my research interests: humanist design, mental health, eating disorders, and community formation.

Previous companies I’ve worked at include Gaming Together, AccesSOS, and Coforma.
