About
Every workaround is a clue.
I follow them to simpler experiences.
I'm a UX researcher and information designer who studies how people actually work with their tools. I work across systems to understand real needs, bring clarity to complex work, and build structures people can trust. As a result, people get more out of their tools, including AI, and businesses see meaningful outcomes.

Real client quotes.
“I think everybody’s ready and willing for these changes. There’s a big appetite to use Notion right now.”

Amy S.
Operations Manager, Patreon
“It's been such a valuable process for us, and the workspace is in a really strong place now, which is a huge credit to you. The team has got so much out of it, and I know it's going to make a big difference to how we operate day-to-day.
Also, I just really appreciate how you worked with everyone. You made it feel easy, practical, and actually usable, which isn't always the case with these things!”
