Steps

Curious by nature, I am energized and excited by understanding others' experiences, motivations, and emotions.

At Blink, I've honed my skills in driving innovation and enhancing user experiences, particularly in the realms of AR/VR and contextual AI within customer-facing products. With a master's in Human-Centered Design and Engineering from UW, I bring a unique perspective and expertise in translating insights into actionable solutions.

My non-traditional background in biological sciences, education research, and vocational rehabilitation medicine equips me to tackle complex design challenges with creativity and empathy. I'm a lifelong learner who thrives on challenges, and I'm eager to leverage my diverse skill set to drive meaningful change across industries.
