About Me

As an architectural designer I enjoyed creating VR experiences from 3D building models and sharing these immersive experiences with fellow designers and clients.

As I explored the technologies behind VR, I discovered the field of UX design.

The core values of user-centered research and design, along with a systematic approach to taming ambiguous challenges resonated with my experience in architectural design.

My explorations eventually led me to the Master of Human-Computer Interaction program at Carnegie Mellon University.

My work in UX design allows me to build on the skills and methods I’ve used during my 9 years in architectural design and offers me the opportunity to work with the tools and technologies that I find so exciting!

I’m a systematic thinker with an eye for detail.

I love delving into ambiguous and complex challenges to discover clear paths forward.

I’m a flexible team member who enjoys both collaborating with others and working independently.
