Hands on product design leader with a background in mental health (LMFT) and human behavior research. I believe in user-centered design, and design that creates emotional connections with people. Driven by the passion of using research and data to make the complex problem easy to understand.

I highly value the relationships between human emotion, behavior, and decision-making process.  My key strengths lie in empathy, research, system thinking, and multidisciplinary collaboration.
