About
Every workaround is a clue.
I follow them to simpler experiences.
I believe great design has to be all three: usable, accessible, and aesthetic.I am an experience researcher, designer, and systems thinker who studies how people actually work with their tools, from everyday users to business teams, so I build systems that people trust and teams can ship with confidence.

What I do
I work at the scale where the gap between intention and execution (what people want to do versus what their tools let them do) is the real challenge, helping teams bring AI-native experiences into the workflows people rely on every day.
Research
Uncover real needs.
Semi-structured interviews, contextual inquiry, expert interviews, survey design, usability testing, desk research and competitor analysis.
Information design
Bring clarity to complex work.
Workspace audits, workflow mapping, taxonomy and permissions modelling.
Facilitation
Turn decisions into adoption.
Design sprints, concept testing, rollout and adoption planning.
Selected work
Three engagements, each starting from research and ending in a system people actually use and drive business goals.

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!”

“You took the time to understand our unique needs and processes and designed a Notion workspace that balances the user experience we were accustomed to while leveraging Notion’s strengths, complete with custom workflows and features tailored to each team’s operations.”
