About Me

I’m a Principal UX Designer with a background in Political Science, an unlikely path that turned out to be my greatest strength. I discovered design while writing my PhD thesis and was instantly drawn in. What started as night classes became a calling.

Since then, I’ve worked across startups, mid-size companies, and global organizations from CipherCloud and NetBase to NASA and AWS. My focus has always been the same: helping people make sense of complexity. Whether designing for AI, security, developer tools, or cloud platforms, I’m driven by a single goal - make powerful systems feel simple, useful, and human. Good design, to me, is never just about the interface. It’s about unlocking potential.

My approach combines deep research, close collaboration, and a focus on real outcomes not just features. I love working on hard problems that require big-picture thinking and quiet listening.

Outside of work, you’ll find me walking by the ocean, reading about the cosmos, or getting lost in the kind of questions that don’t always have answers.

I believe in work that empowers people. Let’s build what matters!
