About me

The short
version.

Scientist-turned-designer. Perpetually curious. Probably thinking about user flows right now.

I'm a senior UX designer with a background in biochemistry โ€” which means I'm equally comfortable reading a research paper and shipping a design system. After years in labs, I discovered UX design and never looked back. I landed my first role in under 3 months and made senior in just over a year.

Now I design products that solve real problems, mentor designers who are just starting out, and occasionally beat people in trivia about obscure marching band history.
