Transforming complex products into
‍intuitive user experiences.

Product designer with a background in neuroscience and 4 years of experience designing at early stage startups. I solve complex problems using my deep understanding of (frequently irrational) human behavior enabling users to effortlessly access the value of features and products I work on.

About me

I'm a neuroscience researcher turned product designer which means I totally geek out on learning about what drives and motivates human behavior. I approach problems with empathy and genuine curiosity to create experiences tailored to helping users achieve their goals. Finding myself happiest when I am productive, I aim to remove barriers that might hold people back from being their most effective selves through user experience design.
