My expertise lies in transforming ideas from concept to reality by making them tangible, prioritizing user empathy, and delivering impactful solutions.

In practice, this means leading qualitative research processes—such as one-on-one interviews, focus groups, and co-design sessions—to tackle a range of design challenges, from uncovering key opportunities to creating polished product experiences.

I believe that fostering a collaborative, co-design approach with communities enables us to make evidence-based, human-centered design decisions that lead to meaningful and lasting impact.
