I’m a recent graduate from The University of Texas at Austin’s M.A. in Design focused on Health program. I come from a background in video production and love storytelling.

After struggling to find my way around hospitals and encountering signs in public spaces that weren’t inclusive, I developed a strong interest in designing experiences, particularly wayfinding systems and services.

Curious by nature, I enjoy conducting ethnographic research to identify accessibility challenges my audience faces and to propose solutions that address systematic issues. I’m satisfied whenever I am able to collect the data I need, transform insights into “How Might We…” questions, and turn challenges into opportunities.
