My experience spans end-to-end design for complex, scalable platforms across web, mobile, and cloud environments. Currently, I am shaping inclusive and intuitive experiences through prototyping, testing, and storytelling.

My academic journey includes a Master of Professional Studies in Information Science from Cornell University, where I focus on UX & Product Design. I have also earned certifications in Google UX Design and completed coursework in Human-Computer Interaction and Design Thinking. My professional experience includes internships and projects that emphasize user research, journey mapping, and A/B testing, contributing to strategy-aligned content flows and customer experience frameworks.
