Overview

I’m a UX designer who graduated from the University of Michigan in 2025 majoring in User Experience Design and am currently pursuing a master’s in human-centered design.

My work is rooted in research, thoughtful problem-solving, and a strong attention to detail.

Before transitioning into UX, I worked as a biotechnologist, where I developed a deep appreciation for precision and analytical thinking. Design has always been part of who I am, and after moving to the U.S., I brought together my scientific mindset and creative instincts to craft intuitive, meaningful experiences for people.

People also ask

What is your design philosophy?

My work can be summed up by “Centered on People. Grounded in Science. Designed with Intent.”

 

I believe the best solutions emerge at the intersection of rigorous research and deep empathy, with users always at the center of the design process. With a background in science and healthcare, I don’t just guess—I investigate. I use human-centered thinking to navigate ambiguity, turning complex problems into clear, respectful, and impactful experiences. For me, design is a commitment to delivering work that isn’t just useful, but genuinely human.

What are your values as a designer?

Interests and hobbies

I love to paint 🎨 (mostly landscapes) in acrylics, watercolors, and oils. I sketch with pens whenever I can, and in 2026, my goal is to capture the places I visit as I’m there. Art museums 🖼️ and travel ✈️ are constant sources of inspiration. I love exploring new cultures, architecture, and cuisines. Lately, I’ve been experimenting with new hobbies so I started collecting jigsaw puzzles 🧩 of my favorite artists, like Monet and Van Gogh.
