Supporting faculty-led research on mode awareness, boundary awareness, and human-AI teaming for partially automated driving and AI-assisted learning systems.

• Translated complex technical domains (ADAS automation transitions, AI-assisted learning) into structured UX research materials by synthesizing 20+ source references into scenario definitions, edge-case taxonomies, and stimulus parameters, enabling executable study design within 3 weeks per project.

• Designed a randomized Qualtrics study on L2-to-L3 mode awareness using video scenarios (N=192; 81% completion; N=167 valid) and synthesized findings into decision-ready insights.

• Delivered 8 UX and HMI recommendations and improved mode-identification accuracy from 69% to 82% after iteration.

• Built scenario-level parameter checklists for ADAS research, ensuring stimulus consistency and variable control across conditions, reducing pilot study revision cycles from 3 rounds to 1.

Leading a student design community through workshops, design challenges, and critique sessions focused on practical product design skills.

• Grew participation 70% and delivered 12+ design assets for campus partners.

• Mentored peers on portfolio storytelling, case study structure, and presentation quality.

• Organized events and coordinated with faculty and industry guests to drive engagement and learning outcomes.

Master’s student in Human-Centered Design & Engineering (User Experience Design concentration) at the University of Michigan-Dearborn. Training across human factors and ergonomics, HCI, and research methods, with coursework spanning customer understanding, advanced digital design, and human-centered AI/human–AI teaming. Focused on translating research insights into clear interaction models, usable interfaces, and measurable product improvements through iterative design and evaluation.

Led the 0-to-1 product design of Co-operant Learning, a CEU credentialing platform converting behavioral health podcast episodes into quiz-based learning experiences for BCBAs and RBTs, from concept through launch.

• Defined the end-to-end user journey across content discovery, registration, quiz completion, and CEU certificate delivery, reducing ambiguity for a 3-person team and enabling launch in under 4 months.

• Designed a cross-plugin product architecture that unified membership, commerce, content management, and transactional email into a single coherent experience, resolving 10+ slug conflicts and system page routing issues that would have broken registration, login, and account recovery flows at launch.

• Structured the content model to support scalable, non-hardcoded episode-to-quiz relationships, enabling the team to independently add new podcast episodes and CEU quizzes without requiring design or development support for each addition.

• Instrumented and launched a 2-week pilot (250 learners): 95 visits, 12 CTA clicks, 3 purchases, 2 completions; built an event taxonomy and KPI dashboard to pinpoint drop-offs.

• Raised task success from 60% to 80% and reduced time to certificate from 2:05 to 0:58 through usability testing and iteration.

Internal transition from New Product Development into a UX-focused role owning the design system and product experience for Ingersoll Rand’s XS Series industrial controller platform.

• Established and maintained a scalable design system for the XS Series controller, standardizing UI components (numeric keypads, drop-downs, navigation patterns, icon libraries, status bars) across all display sizes for both Ingersoll Rand and Gardner Denver branded product lines.

• Led UX strategy for multi-brand platform support, adapting the controller interface to accommodate brand-specific variations while enabling a single codebase to serve multiple brands without fragmenting the user experience.

• Facilitated Agile product development ceremonies with a cross-functional software engineering team, defining sprint priorities, managing the feature backlog, and making scope trade-off decisions on requirements phasing.

• Generated detailed software requirements and UX specifications for IoT/iConn connectivity, OPC-UA integration, and Modbus communication features, aligning the platform roadmap with Industry 4.0 initiatives.

• Defined and documented security UX flows including login screens, password management, screen lock, and session management for the web interface, balancing usability with access control for safety-critical environments.

• Mentored junior designers and engineers on translating complex electro-mechanical system behaviors into intuitive digital interfaces.
